maintaining a satellite-based emergency response communications system,
as well as systems integration services with the customers existing
equipment.
MoDOT Communications Supervisor John Diggs said, In the past, MoDOT has
faced challenges with implementing satellite communications systems
that met our unique requirements. Leveraging the expertise from ODN and
Spacenet, we were able to overcome these challenges and have
successfully deployed a system that meets our needs, including the
implementation of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Radio over
Internet Protocol (RoIP) services via satellite.
ODN CEO Greg Heifner said, The advanced emergency communications
network solutions provide numerous benefits to MHA and MoDOT, including
an easy to deploy, versatile, and scaleable transportable solution that

support for their communications network before or during an emergency
situation.
