    Project Details

    In a remote region of the Canadian wilderness, a forestry worker faced a life-threatening situation when trapped and injured beyond cellular coverage. Utilizing an Iridium Connected Garmin inReach Explorer+ device with the EVERYWHERE Always Connected™ Platform, the worker activated a multi-channel SOS function, prompting an immediate response from emergency services and colleagues. This successful rescue underscores the critical role of satellite communication in safeguarding remote workers, offering essential connectivity and protection where traditional methods fall short.
