Speedcast International will donate funds to support Télécoms Sans Frontières (TSF), the world’s first emergency technology Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

TSF responds to humanitarian needs around the world by leveraging telecommunications technologies. The NGO intervenes in humanitarian crises, conflict zones and areas hit by natural disasters to set up satellite communication for the affected populations and humanitarian organizations.

“In the wake of an unprecedented level of natural disasters over the past few years, we feel it is critical to extend our support for emergency relief organizations such as TSF,” said Speedcast Executive Vice President (EVP) of Enterprise and Emerging Markets Erwan Emilian. “Speedcast has a long history of responding quickly in times of humanitarian crises, helping those affected by providing reliable communications solutions. It is our privilege to support those organizations that provide resources and supplies at the most crucial times.”
