How We Can Support You
Unlocking Actionable Insights
Satellite IoT enables remote asset access, gathering crucial data for informed decision making. Including out-of-range alerts, historical reporting, and reliable and accurate control signals.
Seamless Global
Reach
Satellite technology expands network coverage worldwide, offering both primary and failover connectivity for remote assets. Ensure your operations remain connected, even if the grid stops.
Efficient Sensor Communication
Discover edge WAN terminals, advanced processing, and sensor connectors. Satellite-enabled gateways efficiently connect sensors, ensuring real-time data transfer, analysis, and control.
Connecting the Physical World
Satellite IoT communication isn’t one-way. From triggering automated irrigation to piloting drones BVLOS to increasing the flow of water through turbines; you can command your remote devices.
How It Works
The Ground Control IoT Tech Stack
These are the building blocks of the solutions we build for customers. It starts with understanding where your assets are, and whether they’re moving around; data volumes, data security, any power constraints, and the time-criticality of the receipt of your data.
From there we can build all, or elements of, the gateway: connecting sensors, delivering edge processing, and providing the means of communicating with the satellite network. We work with multiple satellite network operators to make sure our customers get the most suitable combination of data throughput, latency, coverage and cost.
Our powerful platform Cloudloop delivers subscription, device and data management for customers. Everything is available as a simplified and well documented API for seamless integration with existing workflows.
