Schools, universities, TAFE Colleges and other registered educational institutions regularly conduct excursions, camps and research trips into remote parts of Australia and overseas.
As part of their duty of care whilst students and staff are in remote areas, organizers have to establish an emergency communications plan. A satellite phone is the simplest and most reliable method to achieve this.
Recognising that the requirement of individual schools for satellite phones is sporadic and budgets are limited, Fastwave has established a special program for schools to purchase satellite phones at a subsidized price.
Alternatively, the phones can be rented from us at very attractive daily rates.
