"When we're chasing storms, our Satworx satellite equipment provides a vital lifeline for the TVN team," said Reed Timmer, TVN lead storm chaser and meteorologist. "Satworx enables us to stay in constant contact and give advanced warning should a storm change direction or intensity, which saves lives."
Each spring and summer, Timmer and his travel from the Mexican border to Canada to chase tornados. The goal is to collect scientific data and high-resolution video very near to the tornado core where the strongest winds reside to better understand how these storms form and sometimes turn deadly.
Tornados frequently destroy local infrastructure, including radio and cell phone towers. Satworx allow the TVN team to execute complicated maneuvers in dangerous conditions between team members on foot and in vehicles.
