Redundancy vs Resiliency in Communications

Join us for a 60-minute webinar dedicated to creating resilience, not just redundant communications during disruptions

When disaster strikes or infrastructure fails, many organizations believe they’re protected, only to discover that their redundant systems fall short. 

 

In this powerful and practical session, emergency management expert Mark VanDyke will challenge common assumptions about communication preparedness and guide attendees through what true resiliency looks like.

 

Attendees of the webinar will learn about:

  • Differentiating between redundancy and resiliency in communication systems, using the Department of Homeland Security’s three-part definition of resiliency—route diversity, redundancy, and protective/restorative measures.

  • Evaluate the risks and limitations of traditional backup communication methods (like copper POTS lines) and identify how satellite-based solutions can overcome network congestion, infrastructure failure, and other critical disruptions.

  • Build a business case for communication resiliency by calculating the real cost of downtime, understanding where current systems fall short, and identifying practical, cost-effective strategies to restore critical operations during an outage.
