Information and communications technologies are crucial for social changes. Whether answering to humanitarian emergencies, relieving a natural disaster, fighting a health crisis and promoting sustainable development in some of the most challenging places on earth, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) rely on communications technologies to bring efficiency in the aid system. These technical solutions further assist in building better relationships with the public, donors and funders, and in supporting marketing campaigns to raise money and awareness as well as facilitate policy advocacy. DataNet proposes NGOs communications solutions to manage emergency operations in an effective manner that are:
- Affordable
- Reliable
- Mobile
- Rugged
- Field-proven
- Commercial-off-the-shelves products (COTS)
- Scalable
DataNet’s communications platforms by combining satellite, fixed and wireless access technologies can increase coordination between NGOs, UN agencies and with local organizations (NGOs or governments) and support critical applications; from disaster recovery, tele-education, tele-medicine, cloud-based services, social investment or micro-finance, SMS, Voice over IP such as Skype, social networks to standard office web-based applications. At DataNet, our communications solutions create opportunities for solving some of the toughest environmental and social challenges; from global health and humanitarian assistance to ecological conservation. DataNet can provide NGOs with one-stop shop for all communications connectivity and applications needs; from the design, implementation and maintenance of networks.
