emergency.lu
On 5 January 2012, four emergency.lu terminals, including one with an inflatable antenna, were deployed to South Sudan in support of humanitarian operations assisting refugees and internally-displaced persons. This initial deployment enabled more than two thousand humanitarian workers in Maban, Renk, Bentiu, Pibor and Yida to have internet access in the most remote areas. Two terminals remained in operation at the end of 2012.
In addition, two emergency.lu telecommunication systems were sent to Mali in April, at the request of the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster. The first terminal provided satellite connectivity to humanitarian workers in Mopti starting 15 July. The second was pre-positioned in Bamako in view of being deployed to Gao or Timbuktu.
One terminal was installed in Nepal in October at the request of WFP, and one in Venezuela in November at the request of the High Commissioner for Refugees.
