Description: Sustainability has a great deal to do with the complexity of the solution that is being utilized. If a given user is the only one using a certain technology, the challenges for sustained operations are more of a challenge. If the telemetry solution is shared among many cooperating agencies, this leads to a much greater chance of sustainability. Control a user has over the technological solution being used can also lead to greater sustainability. Examples of highly sustainable solutions are ALERT and Geostationary Satellite. ALERT is mostly controlled by the user, allowing more user control. Geostationary Satellites are also highly sustainable because of the commitment of the Government agencies who operate them. Geostationary satellites often have hundreds if not thousands of platforms transmitting, which helps assure there will be pressure to keep the data relay transponder in operation
