Satellite Phone Expert Available to Discuss Communications After Hurricane Katrina's Devastation
WHO: World Communication Center (WCC), www.wcclp.com,
a leading provider of global satellite voice and
data communications.
Weldon Knape, CEO of WCC, is available to address
how satellite phones play a critical role in
natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.
WCC has already shipped over 100 satellite
phones, including 30 last week in anticipation of
the devastation. Companies requesting phones
include telecommunications providers, utilities,
municipalities, hospitals, disaster relief
organizations, and others.
WHAT: Katrina has stopped communications and power
across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, etc. -
The seriousness of the situation was underscored
today when Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco
stated that there are no communications
throughout the state.
In the devastating aftermath, satellite phones
provide the only means of voice communication
in/out of New Orleans and other areas now in
crisis.
Satellite phones don't require special equipment
to use and can connect with cellular or landline
phones in non-affected areas. Calls requesting
satellite phones continue to pour in to WCC.
