Globalstar (NASDAQ: GSAT), a next-generation telecommunications infrastructure and technology provider, announces the continued global expansion of its collaboration with Technosylva, the leading provider of wildfire and extreme weather modeling and risk management. Technosylva's integrated fire behavior modeling and incident management platforms are used by fire agencies across North America, Latin America, and Europe.
The latest milestone in this partnership includes a continued deployment with INFOCA, Andalusia’s regional fire authority, and one of Europe’s largest emergency response organizations. Through Technosylva’s Wildfire Analyst™ and fiResponse™ platforms, powered in the field by Globalstar’s SPOT satellite devices, firefighters gain real-time situational awareness, enhanced coordination, and life-saving connectivity even in the most remote and hazardous environments.
SPOT devices enable precise GPS tracking and emergency signaling, integrated directly into fiResponse. Firefighters can send instant location data with the touch of a button, supporting rapid dispatch of emergency teams – even in GSM-denied areas. These devices have been proven effective in live deployments across Spain, the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.
In Spain, INFOCA fast-tracked the deployment of SPOT Gen3 devices in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to support first responder operations. By 2022, 550 devices had been deployed, while neighboring Castilla La Mancha has been using SPOT since 2015.
“Increasing wildfire threats require integrated, intelligent solutions,” said Joaquin Ramirez, Founder & CTO at Technosylva. “Spain understands that fire behavior modeling, advanced communications, and real-world field operations must work in concert to improve firefighter safety and decision-making.”
Mark O’Connell, Globalstar's General Manager for EMEA and APAC, added, “We’re proud to support Technosylva and INFOCA in equipping fire agencies with critical satellite technology to help save lives and protect communities.”
Technosylva’s growing international presence includes major firefighting agencies in the U.S., including agencies in Texas and Georgia, who use the system’s predictive analysis to model fire spread and allocate resources more effectively based on live and forecasted environmental conditions.
