Spain’s emergency military unit, Unidad Militar de Emergencias (UME) has ordered three more NewSwift motorised antennas to add to the 17 1.5m NewSwift mobile satellite terminals previously ordered.
Each of the UME’s mobile terminals incorporates a monitoring and control system that can be managed remotely from UME Headquarters.
