72-hour deployment is a different supply problem

When a hurricane lands, an earthquake hits or a humanitarian crisis triggers a response operation, the NGO or response agency cannot wait 4 weeks for a procurement cycle. Devices need to be on a plane within 72 hours, pre-configured, with the right connectivity, asset-tagged and ready for field staff to power on.

Solaris Wireless maintains pre-cleared inventory for rapid deployment. The Miami headquarters and the Netherlands and Singapore supply nodes hold ready-to-ship inventory of smartphones, Starlink kits, satellite communicators and ruggedised laptops for exactly this scenario.

Solaris capabilities for disaster relief and NGO operations

Solaris has supported U.S. Government, allied nations and humanitarian programmes with 72-hour rapid response for ruggedised communications hardware. The standard rapid-deploy package includes smartphones (pre-configured with offline-capable mapping, secure messaging, and the agency's MDM enrolment), Starlink kits (pre-registered to the agency's service account), satellite communicators (Iridium, Inmarsat) for areas without Starlink coverage, and ruggedised laptops for field offices.

International logistics is handled end-to-end including export-control compliance (ITAR, EAR), customs documentation for the receiving country, and last-mile delivery to the staging location, base camp or field office.
