Argentina. Gallus Communications and Servicio Satelital S.A. launched an autonomous mobile communication network in Argentina, designed to operate in emergency situations. Portable and rugged, the system can be deployed in minutes, even in areas without a power grid or ground infrastructure.
The solution is a private communications network with native satellite support and technology designed to operate without relying on commercial networks. It is aimed at public bodies, emergency services, security forces, energy companies and other entities that act in critical contexts.
Among its technical components, the network integrates the TASSTA platform, based on Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) technologies and the MCX (Mission Critical Services) standards defined by 3GPP. This allows for voice, video, messaging, monitoring of personnel at risk, geolocation and reconstruction of trajectories in real time, under reinforced security protocols.
Eduardo Lema, president of Servicio Satelital S.A., explained during the announcement: "The ability to establish an independent, secure and resilient communication network in a matter of minutes can make the difference between isolation and effective coordination in moments where every second counts." He also added that "this launch represents a concrete step towards technological sovereignty in critical situations."
Gallus Communications highlighted the operational impact of the initiative in regional contexts. "In environments where traditional infrastructures cannot guarantee service, our Mobile Network offers operational reliability and management tools that transform tactical response into coordinated intelligence," they said from their regional headquarters in Miami.
The system has a modular design, energy independence and the ability to be transported in light vehicles. The solution also includes training, technical support and maintenance programs to ensure its sustained operation.
The alliance contemplates a gradual expansion to other Latin American countries, where, according to the companies, there is a growing need for resilient infrastructures in the face of extreme events and hybrid threats. The development is part of a broader strategy aimed at strengthening local capacities in critical telecommunications and emergency response.
