Abstract
The Italian Department of Civil Defence has adopted an up to date system for emergency telecommunications and territorial data collection. This satellite system, known as ARGO, enjoys all the exceptional advantages offered by satellite systems, such as:
-
The ability to set up local stations within the satellite’s coverage area, without any restrictions
-
The independance of the means of communication from the disasters striking the territory
-
The quality, flexibility and reliability of the link-up.
