Viasat Press Release

Rescue 42 Deployables Keep Public Safety Connected

Viasat Satellite Service and Support Now More Accessible

Rescue 42 Viasat Announcement 2

Chico, CA —As the country endures increasingly intense disasters from wildfires to hurricanes to tornadoes, Rescue 42, Inc.’s deployables continue to be battle-tested as they help public safety organizations prepare for and respond to these incidents. Their devices provide seamless and dependable critical communication during emergencies, allowing first responders to stay connected with Wi-fi and cellular coverage. And now, deployable owners can procure their satellite data directly as Rescue 42 announces being a newly authorized reseller of Viasat, Inc. satellite services.

This integration allows public safety organizations to get streamlined support for both deployable and data from a single, trusted provider: Rescue 42—and benefit from competitive pricing.

“Our team is committed to supporting public safety agencies nationwide, and that includes thinking of new ways we can make the crucial task of emergency communication more accessible,” said Amy Velazquez, President, Rescue 42. 

To better serve the critical communication needs of first responders, the Rescue 42 team has made Viasat pricing more affordable for users of the CRD™ (Compact Rapid Deployable) for FirstNet® and the NSD™ (Network System Deployable; formerly SatRunner), which is compatible with other carriers. Unlike other resellers that limit customers to annual contracts, Rescue 42 provides flexible payment options, including monthly plans.

“Our partnership with Viasat guarantees not only uninterrupted, reliable service but also unmatched customer support from the Rescue 42 team. Whether in the field or at your agency’s headquarters, we are dedicated to ensuring your connectivity needs are met with the highest level of expertise and care,” Velazquez continued. 

Public safety agencies interested in upgrading or renewing their satellite service plans can contact Rescue 42 to discuss the best options for their needs.
