We’re super excited to announce that RVAC is officially testing out STARLINK on one of our ambulances — and as far as we know, we’re the first department on Long Island to do so!

What does this mean? High-speed satellite internet anywhere we go! Whether we’re on a call deep in the woods or down by the beach — where cell service and even radio signals can be nonexistent — we’ll have a reliable hotspot inside and outside the ambulance. That means our mobile phones, monitors, tablets, and other lifesaving equipment will stay connected when we need it most.

All we need is a clear view of the sky!

This upgrade not only boosts our connectivity and operational readiness, but it also has the potential to cut our cell phone bills by more than 50%. Currently, nearly everything in the ambulance runs on cellular — including our tablets — but with Starlink, that could change.

We’re proud to be on the cutting edge of tech, and even prouder to keep raising the bar for emergency medical service in our community. Stay tuned for updates as we test this exciting, money-saving innovation!
