enables rapid deployment
Toronto, ON (July 18, 2006) – Roadpost Inc., a leader in global voice and data
communications, has made emergency portable satellite communications easier
with the launch of the “Grab & Go” Emergency kit. The kit - which includes
an Iridium satellite handset, extra batteries and a solar charger bundled in a
rugged, waterproof and shockproof carrying case - was developed in response to
rapidly growing demand for easy to deploy communications solutions during
crisis situations.
“In today’s world, businesses, emergency response personnel and NGO’s are
increasingly concerned about maintaining communications during emergencies,”
said Morris Shawn, President and CEO of Roadpost. “Roadpost’s unique ‘Grab
& Go’ approach means that users can easily access portable satellite
services with little disruption to business operations. It is ideally suited
for organizations operating in high risk areas as a way to ensure easy and

emergency preparedness satellite offerings that Roadpost is developing to meet
the needs of organizations in high risk areas. “With our extensive range of
service offerings in portable and broadband satellite, as well as international
