From Manual to Mission-Ready: How Satellite Connectivity Is Modernizing Wildfire Response
When wildfires erupt across steep, remote terrain, cellular networks are unreliable exactly when teams need them most. Losing visibility into the location of crews, equipment, and medical resources is not just an operational problem - it is a life-safety crisis.
This on-demand webinar features Claudia Smith of Globalstar and Johnny Aguirre of Florian GPS Tracking as they walk through a real deployment from the 2025 Dillon Fire in California, where SPOT Trace devices and the SPOT My Globalstar platform gave interagency teams the situational awareness to respond faster, coordinate smarter, and protect their people.
In this session, you will learn:
- Why cellular-based GPS tracking breaks down in wildfire environments and how satellite connectivity fills the gap across engines, hand crews, dozers, medics, and REMS teams
- How the SPOT My Globalstar dashboard enabled real-time geofencing, drop point logging, and dynamic routing during two live medical emergencies at the Dillon Fire
- How automated location and time logging supports contractor accountability and protects incident budgets
Whether you manage fire response operations, support emergency preparedness planning, or are evaluating satellite IoT solutions for your organization, this session shows what modern resource accountability looks like in the field and why it matters when seconds count.
