Rogo Communications

RoGO Communications is developing an advanced satellite integrated communication solution including devices and software designed to enable wildland firefighters to communicate and access data in remote areas where cellular service is unreliable or not available. We are creating life-saving technology that will help you locate your resources on the ground, provide real-time wind speed and wind direction, predictive analytics, and communications in austere locations. Our mission is to deliver a communication system that will save lives, reduce expense and property damage as well as improve firefighter situational awareness by ensuring a productive deployment of emergency responders and a more effective hazard response execution utilizing state of the art communications systems. On today's large wild land fires, there is a lack of current and consistent communication technology to support the firefighting personnel - resulting in communications inaccuracies, no communication at all and limited timely updates. This is primarily due to the constant hand-off of information between parties (think the telephone game), no VHF or cellular service in remote areas, use of two way radios and the large distances between parties in a remote emergency scene. RoGo has developed patented integrated satellite communications system incorporating GPS-enabled satellite enabled tablets/phones, transceivers and portable GPS receivers/transmitters (Dropballs) to enable firefighters to communicate with the incident commanders and emergency response operations in real time and share up to the minute vital scene information, like the status & location of firefighters, weather changes, resource GPS position, Maps, photos and changes in assignment.
