| The world is not a very safe place to live in these | | | | areas like deep seas and mountain tops. We see |

| disaster management system becomes | | | | system must be reliable and must be in working |
| imperative in public places and even in business | | | | condition at all times. Thus wide area network |
| establishments and important commercial joints | | | | with satellite signals is usually recommended. Many |
