Cloudloop Components
Subscription Manager
Search and manage your subscriber account. View current plans, contracts and device plan status.
Activate, deactivate and suspend subscribers, and view account usage and associated costs.
Device Manager
Remotely manage your IoT devices. Monitor device health, complete (OTA) software updates.
Create custom connection alerts and notifications, and ultimately, reduce the number of engineering site visits.
Cloudloop Data
Organize and view the activity of your IoT ‘Things’. Manage your ‘Things’ into meaningful groups and decide how your data is consumed.
Utilize message boards and pre-configured destinations.
Cloudloop Tracking
Real-time monitoring of your asset(s) location.
Trace exact coordinates and speed of travelling assets and view historical timelines of asset events. Multiple terrain mapping options.
Remote Management And IoT System Monitoring
- Device Health Checks – Remote monitoring, status checks and device updates
- Asset Location and Geofencing – Real time track and trace of assets, teams or devices
- Messaging and Data Status– Manage live coded and decoded data, as it flows through the IoT system
- Usage Spikes – Manage user accounts, ensure no rogue activity or expenditure
- Security and Firewalls– With access and permissions in place, NOC management gives engineering oversight of data movement
- Popular Pre-Integrated Destinations – Connect to leading cloud platforms, data storage and IoT dashboards with reduced, to minimal, developer effort

Cloudloop is based on a Principle of Ease.
Helping your IoT project run smoothly, no matter the level of developer experience.The Platform Provides:
Guided onboarding and set up. A lowcode/no code IoT integration, or developer documentation, API, and coding examples. Utilize our software in your own IoT system design.One simple Login
Five domains of IoT Management; Device Manager, Subscription Manager, Asset Tracking, Messaging and Data Management and Network Operations Management (NOC) (coming soon)Where Cloudloop Sits Within The Data System
Cloudloop is a critical element of Ground Control’s overall contribution to secure and reliable data transfer. It encompasses data delivery configuration, provisioning, security, payments, billing and analytics. There’s also a Cloudloop Tracking platform so that you can monitor your mobile assets. Customers can use as much or as little of the Cloudloop interface as they choose, as every function available within Cloudloop can be executed programmatically using our REST APIs.

Is your airtime service not currently listed? Get in touch. Our engineers are constantly working to improve Cloudloop, so it might already be on our roadmap.
Using our fully featured API, you can take full control of your Iridium SBD, Certus, Satellite Phone and Inmarsat BGAN contracts and billing, and integrate them with your own platform. This makes it easy for you to activate, suspend, deactivate and review billing information programmatically via your own system.
In fact, Ground Control are the only Iridium Service Provider who will deliver your SBD data directly to and from your own Amazon SQS queues. We provide a CloudFormation stack which creates your queues and takes care of cross account permissions.
Cloudloop has been developed in such a way that it caters for developers, integrators or customers with little or no development knowledge. Integrated data destinations on SBD services are offered as a low/code or no code onboarding, with much of the development work done to facilitate connection to common destinations; cloud platforms or IoT dashboards.
Alternatively we provide the developer docs, API and example code for those who want to integrate our software into their own IoT solution, and feel they have more development expertise.
Either way our technical and development teams are always at hand for the extra support you might need.
The Cloudloop platform is available 24-7. If you need assistance our technical support teams are available to help, with UK office hours: Monday to Friday 09:00 – 17:00 GMT, US office hours: Monday to Friday 5:00 am – 5:00 pm PST. The easiest way to reach the team is to email help@groundcontrol.com.
The Cloudloop platform is secure by design and protected by our Network Operations Engineering team. The Network Operations Center (NOC – coming soon) will enable users greater monitoring of their data over the satellite network, and facilitate further levels of firewall security.
It’s up to you. The Cloudloop platform provides a full suite of tools to help you remote manage your satellite IoT system from set up, through to platform permissions that give differing levels of account access, to data monitoring, airtime billing and device maintenance.
Equally you may wish to integrate the platform software into your own development, in which case the API, documentation and developer examples are available, ready to combine with your existing applications and features.
There is no subscription cost for using the Subscription, Data and Device elements of the Cloudloop platform. Recurring charges are for the use of monthly airtime subscription / Pay As You Go services or additional purchase of hardware and accessories. Our account management team can model your airtime subscription for you, so you can understand potential costs according to your projects’ airtime usage. Your actual costs can be reviewed within the Subscription Manager platform domain.
Contact hello@groundcontrol.com for a demo of the platform and more information on airtime usage.
“It’s great to be able to see reliable itemized usage costs for all our Iridium devices!”
