Orange Business Picks Eutelsat OneWeb to Boost Crisis Connectivity
Orange Business has strengthened its SafetyCase emergency telecom units by integrating Eutelsat OneWeb’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network, ensuring sovereign, reliable communications even when terrestrial networks fail.
SafetyCase units are rugged, energy-autonomous systems designed to restore voice, data, and video links in crisis zones — from floods to cyclones. Available as a “Mobile Unit” (deployable in seconds) or a “Crisis Center” (operational within 30 minutes), they create Wi-Fi “connectivity bubbles” to keep responders and local authorities connected.
Already used in real-world emergencies across Europe and the Indian Ocean, SafetyCase now benefits from OneWeb’s low-latency European satellite coverage, reinforcing national and continental resilience.
This partnership marks an advance for Europe’s sovereign emergency communications, adding next-generation satellite resilience to Orange’s network.
