In recent years, China has severe public security situation, natural disasters and accidents occur frequently, public health events and social security events happen constantly, and there are still threats to national security. The Chinese government attaches great importance to disposal of emergency events, and especially after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, the State Council has put forward higher requirements for emergency disposal. In order to improve the emergency communication disposal ability for emergency events, the current situation of the communication industry is combed in the paper, and from the perspective of emergency complying with the current industry, an emergency communication satellite terminal management system is established for exploration around the construction of informationized emergency command platform in the communication industry, so as to improve the command and dispatch ability of emergency satellite communication of our country in an all-round way.
During the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the country attaches great importance to the development of emergency communication industry. The State Council issues the Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Emergency Industry, and clearly puts forward the focus on the development of emergency communications, emergency command and other emergency products and services, leading the direction of the development of the emergency communication industry and proposing new requirements. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology attaches great importance to the construction of the national emergency communication system, organizes the preparation and revision of the National Communication Support Emergency Plan, successively implements the “Twelfth Five-Year” development plan for the national emergency communication, makes the development of the emergency communication industry as an important task, and makes great efforts to perfect and optimize the established emergency platform to further improve emergency communication disposal capability and emergency communication support capability of emergency events.
As an important part of the national public security emergency system and national defense mobilization system, during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the national emergency communication system has gradually equipped every province, every city and baseline telecom operators with handheld and fixed maritime satellite phones, portable satellite terminals, vehicular satellite communication terminals and other satellite terminal communication equipment, and has preliminarily covered the counties and towns in remote areas of disaster-prone areas. However, at present, the communication industry has not established a set of satellite management system for the unified and effective management of emergency satellite terminals in provinces and cities, which causes the satellite terminals to lack supervision, and causes emergency satellite phones to slowly and ineffectively schedule emergency resources and assign tasks in case of emergencies.
Under the new situation, the General Office of the State Council issues the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for the Construction of National Emergency System for Emergency Events, and puts the improvement of emergency communication support capacity in a more prominent position. When the ground communication network is interrupted in large areas due to emergency events, or when mobile phones, fixed phones and other communications are unable to communicate, satellite phones are particularly important as a safe and reliable means of communication. Satellite phones, as an important means of emergency communication, will be more widely used in emergency agencies, rescue teams and grass-roots emergency organizations. Therefore, the establishment of an “emergency communication satellite terminal management system” can effectively integrate existing satellite communication resources, strengthen monitoring and supervision of various satellite terminals, and effectively enhance the government's emergency communication support capacity and service capacity.
