EVERYWHERE USE CASE:
Wildfire Management
|
With growing reports of wildfires in the U.S. and around the globe, our clients are using products such as the Everywhere inReach Explorer+ by Garmin to track and protect teams of firefighters.
|
|
In a region where 100 firefighters have been deployed, the EVERYWHERE Hub provides a view of all of the deployed personnel inside a specific geographical area.
It is critical to track where each firefighter is located at all times, including where they are in relation to fire engines and equipment, and how close – or far away – they are from the heart of the fire. A team leader can use Everywhere technology to send a Pulse message to each member of the team in that identified area, asking whether they are okay. Within minutes, they will know exactly how many team members have responded. Team members who don’t respond can be quickly identified, and a rescue team can be mobilized. |
EVERYWHERE USE CASE:
Helping Environmentally Threatened Communities in Alaska
Limited access roadways |
Remote air-only access |
Marine safety |
|
In certain remote areas of Alaska, our clients are helping communities to replace damaged infrastructure resulting from flooding, erosion, and melting permafrost.
|
Connect and Protect
In particularly remote areas, they are using EVERYWHERE devices to connect and protect teams that have no cell service and limited access roads. These devices dramatically increase productivity, because they eliminate the need for repetitive travel to internet-connected areas. These teams use the EVERYWHERE App on their smartphones, paired with reliable satellite technology, to communicate with one another.
Industry-first Intelligent Routing
|
Because of EVERYWHERE intelligent routing, which provides seamless routing of communications between Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite areas, our clients can text or email pictures of an equipment problem, troubleshoot with master mechanics’ who are not onsite, and solve problems quickly and efficiently.

EVERYWHERE USE CASE:
Connecting Volunteers in Third World CountriesFrom global humanitarian organizations to local churches, volunteer groups are bringing critical human services to vulnerable people. In the past, perhaps one or two group leaders may have carried a satellite phone for use in case of emergency, and these phones were turned on only if “critically” needed.
|
With EVERYWHERE Communications inReach Explorer+ by Garmin devices, and connectivity starting at just $15 per month, our clients can afford to give each member of their team a device of their own. The devices also connect people to one another at the touch of one button.
For instance, the InReach Explorer+ can track the location of volunteers and Search and Rescue teams as they respond to critical emergencies. Volunteers in an emergency can simply press an SOS button to send their coordinates over the Iridium satellite network. |
EVERYWHERE USE CASE:
Transforming Operations in the Oil & Gas Industry
Our clients in the oil and gas industries face major challenges as they build new infrastructure in remote locations, often in harsh weather. With products such as the EVERYWHERE inReach Explorer+ by Garmin, it's now possible to work in entirely new ways.
|
|
|
Oil spills can now be detected and addressed within minutes, helping workers to be more productive and to better meet environmental regulations.
Remote workers can also transfer large volumes of data in real-time. This means that employees can communicate with each other instantly, whether they are located on an exploration site, a drilling site, or an oil rig. This has a transformative effect on all operations. |
EVERYWHERE USE CASE:
“Our customers rely on us to transport their most important assets, and that’s why we knew EVERYWHERE would be the perfect communications solution for us...”
EVERYWHERE USE CASE:
Conservation on a Remote Island
On the rugged, remote Hawaiian island, an infestation of Pacific rats threatens the ecosystem. Many species of Hawaiian seabirds who live on the island are losing their eggs and chicks to these invasive rodents. Our client – a conservation company – is partnering with U.S. agricultural, wildlife, and natural resource departments to remove the rats and provide a safe breeding habitat for the seabirds. This work also enables regeneration of native plants.
EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
“The work we do takes us into extreme environments, with limited cellular access, yet with a need to connect to the main office to report our findings,” our client says. “With the EVERYWHERE device, we can stay connected to our team…and using intelligent routing, the system automatically knows which network to use, without intervention from our team members.”
