RoGO Communications is a United States-based startup founded in 2018 with the slogan "RoGo Communications develops satellite-enabled devices to improve communication & track resources in remote areas." The company is focused on developing advanced satellite-integrated communication solutions, including devices and software, to facilitate communication and data access for wildland firefighters in remote areas.
The company's mission is to deliver a communication system that can save lives, reduce expenses, minimize property damage, and enhance firefighter situational awareness. Their technology aims to provide real-time wind speed and direction, predictive analytics, and communication capabilities in austere locations, thus ensuring a productive deployment of emergency responders and more effective hazard response execution.
RoGO Communications secured a $250.00K grant investment on 18 May 2023 from the Advanced Industries Accelerator (AIA) Program. The company's innovative approach addresses the lack of current and consistent communication technology in large wildland fires, where conventional methods such as VHF or cellular service are unreliable. By developing patented integrated satellite communication systems, incorporating GPS-enabled satellite devices and portable GPS receivers/transmitters, RoGO enables real-time communication and data sharing, crucial for enhancing emergency response operations.
