 Building on the success of its DR-250 disaster recovery service launched last year, CapRock Communications, a global satellite communications provider, is significantly expanding its disaster recovery product line for 2006. The new service packages will be available under two different programs: Broadband DR-VSATTM and Private Line DR-VSATTM. Each program is specifically designed for the needs of either emergency response teams or large organizations looking for high-performance business continuity communications. The new packages provide multi-line digital telephone service and broadband Internet access at speeds ranging from 256Kbps to 2Mbps, all in a self-contained trailer that includes ruggedized satellite and networking equipment, telephones, fax machines and an option for an on-board electrical generator. The services are available now in preparation for hurricane season.
“Last year, we launched the DR-250 program just prior to hurricane season and were amazed at the market’s response” said David Myers, vice president of marketing and product management for CapRock. “We deployed more than 140 self-contained disaster recovery satellite packages in just the first 60 days after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Those customers who had pre-ordered the DR-250 program were back online with a business-class voice and data service the same day they called for dispatch, while they watched less prepared organizations wait weeks to get even basic telephone service.”
