In just a few days, Santa Claus will delight over 2 billion children around the world, traveling thousands of kilometers to deliver his long-awaited gifts.
After receiving many letters in Lapland and more and more e-mails. And yes! Santa is connected by satellite to send and receive his e-mails. He's getting organized to deliver all these surprises in the best possible conditions.
In addition to his perfect knowledge of the globe, he carefully plans his tour according to the weather and the prevailing winds, in order to carry out his mission as efficiently as possible.
Of course, his elves optimize his route as much as possible, but it's at the moment of departure that the communication systems and his geolocation beacon come in very handy.
In fact, by connecting to the geolocation platform www.konectis.com, its assistants can visualize its position.
So we asked Santa what systems he uses and what he gets out of them:
"Hello everyone. I have to say that advances in technology are doing me and my team a lot of favors.
Firstly, to communicate all year round with the children by email, we useInmarsat Fleet One. It's very practical because not only can we exchange emails and photos, but we also receive the weather files that are essential for my travels.
I'm also geolocated by my elves, so they can follow my routes and guide me if necessary. I can even activate an SOS signal in case of trouble! It's very reassuring. I've fitted my sled with a Globalstartracking unit Smartone C so that I can be warned of any abnormal movement by email or SMS. It's really great!
My reindeer are also equipped with a geolocation beacon, Alive tracker, so we can easily find one of them if it has wandered away from the herd!
And I also thought about my elves, who, when they're on a spotting session, are equipped with an Iridium Go so they can communicate with me in any circumstance, wherever they are in the world.
I'm much more serene on Christmas Eve, and I see nothing but advantages in all these satellite communication and geolocation solutions.
To all of you, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2022!"
