EUSPAEUSPA is linking GOVSATCOM services with authorised government users📡For fire brigades, police, military, coast guard and other authorised users, this pooling of secure <a href="https://social.network.europa.eu/tags/SatCom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SatCom</a> services means they won’t need to find and book them directly from the service providers – a process that could delay emergency response efforts. By always having some SatCom services reserved for EU Member States, GOVSATCOM reduces the risk of commercial services being unavailable.Read more: <a href="https://www.euspa.europa.eu/newsroom/news/govsatcom-eu-secure-satcom-service-hub" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.euspa.europa.eu/newsroom/news/govsatcom-eu-secure-satcom-service-hub</a>
