Challenging Environments Disaster • 85 percent of the people exposed to earthquakes, tropical cyclones,floods and droughts live in countries having either medium or low human development • No access to information in remote areas which is as vital to the end-user as the umbilical cord to the unborn child • Terrestrial communication links are almost always disabled and disrupted due to lack of infrastructure investments in those remote rural areas • Connecting remote communities with mobile communication is a major challenge. • Users working in challenging environments such as media staff, disaster relief workers, health teams and government workers, etc...
