Social responsibility

Raising awareness of satellite technology in society and of the benefits that satellite-based communication can provide are two important aspects for Ovzon in regards to the company’s social impact. Good communication is key to many crucial societal functions. Ovzon’s employees are the most important resource for delivering good communication, and therefore their health and safety are one of Ovzon’s main priorities.

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.

Effective communication is essential for critical societal functions worldwide, especially for rescue personnel operating in extreme environments, whether tropical heat or Arctic cold. Reliable communication channels are crucial, and Ovzon’s satellite services play a pivotal role in these scenarios. Proven to maintain high-quality communication irrespective of atmospheric conditions, Ovzon’s technology ensures that rescue personnel can carry out their tasks seamlessly without technical difficulties. 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 satellite-based mobile communication, rescue personnel gain trouble-free access to high-speed networks, which ultimately can contribute to life-saving missions. In 2023, Ovzon continued its support for various defense forces by providing ultra-light mobile satellite terminals for assistance in diverse initiatives and emergency situations. This proved to be very important during the past year, when incidents related to both conflicts caused by humans and natural disasters caused by climate change have increased rapidly.
