Our Programs
Open Signal Foundation operates several programs designed to ensure communication access during emergencies. Our programs are focused on high-level humanitarian support and remain non-operational in nature.
Emergency Communication Access
Our Emergency Communication Access program focuses on providing connectivity solutions during network shutdowns and emergencies. This program ensures that essential communication channels remain available when standard networks are disrupted, enabling communities to stay informed and connected during critical moments.
Connectivity Support During Blackouts
When internet and communication networks experience blackouts, our Connectivity Support program helps ensure that communities maintain access to essential communication resources. We work to provide alternative connectivity options that operate within applicable regulatory frameworks and legal requirements.
Partner-Led Distribution
Our Partner-Led Distribution program collaborates with local organizations to ensure that communication resources reach the communities that need them most. By working with established partners who understand local contexts and needs, we can more effectively support humanitarian communication access in affected areas.
Research and Policy Guidance
Through our Research and Policy Guidance program, we conduct research and analysis to inform policy discussions about humanitarian communication access. This program focuses on understanding the challenges communities face during communication disruptions and developing evidence-based recommendations for ensuring access during emergencies.
Our research remains focused on humanitarian outcomes and operates within academic and policy frameworks to contribute to broader discussions about communication rights during emergencies.
