The challenge

Communities cut off after the storm passed

Hurricanes left residents and responders across North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida without reliable service, at the moment they most needed to reach family, insurers and aid.

Restoration of wired and cellular networks takes time. Connectivity needed to arrive the same day.

The solution

Same-day satellite connectivity, deployed by our own teams

SimpleCom teams deployed Starlink high-performance satellite kits into affected communities, with unlimited data and no charge to the people using them.

Same-day deployment

Connectivity in place the day teams arrived.

High-performance satellite

Starlink high-performance equipment for capacity under load.

Unlimited data

No caps for residents and responders using the service.

No cost to the community

Delivered by SimpleCom as outreach, not a contract.

The result

20,000 people back online

The deployments reached 20,000 people across three states. The same playbook, equipment and teams are what SimpleCom brings to emergency services and public sector agencies that need connectivity on short notice.
