Social responsibility

Raising public awareness about satellite technology and the benefits of advanced mobile satellite communication is a key focus for Ovzon in terms of its social impact. Effective communication underpins many essential societal functions, and Ovzon’s employees are vital to delivering this. As such, their health and safety are top priorities for the company, ensuring they can continue to provide the high-quality communication services that support critical missions worldwide.

The impact of high-quality communication infrastructure

Ovzon aims to increase society’s awareness of and interest in space, satellites, and communication technology, and encourages the younger generation to take inspiration from and learn more within these fields. This includes providing places for internships and supporting thesis work. Ovzon’s employees are involved with several universities, lecturing in core areas alongside other activities. Additionally, Ovzon frequently participate in activities to broaden societal knowledge of satellite communication. As an example of this, several employees participated in panel discussions, seminars and surrounding elements during Almedalen Week, Sweden’s largest fair for democratic meetings.

Effective and reliable communication is essential for critical societal functions worldwide, especially for rescue personnel operating in extreme environments, whether tropical heat or Arctic cold. Ovzon’s technology has proven to maintain high-quality communication irrespective of atmospheric conditions, ensuring that rescue personnel can carry out their tasks seamlessly without technical challenges. Ovzon’s services have consistently been instrumental in rescue efforts during events such as volcanic eruptions, avalanches, and earthquakes, where terrestrial telecommunications were either inoperative or inaccessible. With Ovzon’s SATCOM solution, rescue personnel gain troublefree access to high-speed networks, which ultimately can contribute to lifesaving missions. In 2024, Ovzon continued its support for various defense forces by providing sovereign, resilient and secure mobile satellite communication in diverse initiatives and emergency situations. This proved to be very important during the past year, when incidents related to both humanitarian conflicts and natural disasters have increased rapidly, also increasing the need for resilient communication.
