Satellite Technology at the Core of Making It Possible for Veterans with
  Disabilities to Overcome Barriers
From: ECN - 09/29/2015

Thirteen vets with disabilities were selected for a 10-day climb and trek to
Gannett Peak, at 13,809 feet the highest peak in Wyoming. The hope is they
would have a transformative experience that would inspire the warriors to
grow and continue to contribute their absolute best to the world. According
to program director, John Toth, "With the support of Wells Fargo and the
reliability of BlueCosmo telecommunications devices and technologies, we are
able to assure the group's safety, allow for communication with the team for
emergencies and also provide real time images from the expedition. We had one
group member whose grandmother passed away, and he was able to speak to his
family in Pennsylvania while mid trek at a point where cellular signals were
not available."
