Exciting things happening here at Voxer! This week, the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations project (NEEMO) is using\u00a0Voxer<\/a> for primary communications and for potential use in future exploration missions, including trips to Mars!\u00a0<\/p>\n

NEEMO is a NASA analog mission<\/a> that sends astronauts, engineers and scientists to live in Aquarius, the world\u2019s only undersea research station, to simulate space exploration conditions for field tests of new technologies and systems.<\/p>\n

To simulate trips to Mars, Voxer implemented an artificial delay of between three and twenty minutes that replicates the delay between space explorers and mission control. During a demonstration with NEEMO 18, Voxer was able to ensure messages were delivered according to the simulated time intervals, creating a realistic experience for NASA personnel.<\/p>\n

Voxer is being used as a communication solution for NEEMO because of it\u2019s flexibility. Voxer can be used across a variety of networks, including GPRS, CDMA and WiFi and supports a wide variety of devices including desktops, tablets and smartphones running iOS, Android, or Windows operating systems.\u00a0In this case, the network includes access via a buoy that is being buffeted by 15 knot winds and six foot seas. Additionally, Voxer is compatible with headsets for discreet communications, a benefit when users are in crowded conditions or need their hands free. Unlike live-only radios, all Voxer communications can be simultaneously recorded, so users can play messages back or archive audio for their records.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis engagement with NASA is a milestone project that demonstrates our ability to create products specifically designed for the most demanding conditions and mission-critical uses,\u201d said Jim Panttaja, Head of Corporate Development at Voxer. \u201cNEEMO is an incredibly impressive operation with far-reaching benefits and we are very pleased to be a part of it.”<\/p>\n
