Our Services for Utility Organizations
Connecting Your Most Remote Sites
Secure
Infrastructure
Satellite is inherently secure, but cybersecurity can be enhanced with TSAT. TSAT is designed for remote monitoring and control of SCADA systems. Unlike ground-based communication networks, which can be compromised by cyberattacks, TSAT provides a more secure and tamper-resistant infrastructure for critical data transmission.
Automated Monitoring and Control
RockREMOTE delivers reliable monitoring and control for utility operations. With edge computing capabilities, it processes critical data on-site, reducing latency and optimizing network efficiency. Whether managing power grids, pipelines, or water distribution, RockREMOTE empowers utility companies with secure, always-on connectivity.
Resilient Failover Communications
A Ground Control customer managing a vital gas pipeline relies on a triple-redundant comms system – two satellite links and one cellular connection. To maintain production, at least two of these must always remain operational. In 16 years, neither satellite connection has ever failed, proving the unmatched reliability of non-terrestrial networks.
Field Workforce Safety and Enablement
Field technicians operate in challenging and often hazardous environments, making reliable communication essential. The RockSTAR tracker delivers location updates as frequently as every 15 seconds. In addition, RockSTAR enables two-way messaging, geofencing alerts, and emergency SOS capabilities, ensuring safety and accountability.
Recommended Devices:
Remote Data Monitoring
RockBLOCK Sense transmits variable measurements from even the most remote sensors: power, temperature, water levels, pressure, windspeed, and more.
Cyber Security
With end-to-end encryption, advanced authentication protocols and continuous data monitoring, TSAT enhances network resilience for industries operating in remote or off-grid locations. Ideal for utility sites and critical infrastructure, TSAT ensures reliable, secure connectivity, preventing unauthorized access and maintaining operational integrity in the most challenging environments.
Remote Monitoring Sensors
RockBLOCK 9603 can be integrated into existing sensing equipment for seamless satellite connectivity. For enhanced durability in extreme environments, RockBLOCK Plus and RockBLOCK Sense offer robust protection, featuring IP68-rated dust and water resistance and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
Remote Field Technician Safety
For utility site vehicle users, the RockDASH offers a portable solution, transmitting location and vehicle telemetry while enabling two-way text communication and alert functions. Both Rock devices leverage the Iridium network and include geofencing capabilities to enhance the safety of field teams and utility maintenance vehicles.

How TSAT empowers utility providers with secure SCADA, telemetry and M2M data transmissions
To overcome a number of challenges including connectivity, reliability and security; Scottish and Southern Energy (Formerly Scottish Hydro), deployed a TSAT 2150 network in 1997, initially to provide secure, satellite-based connectivity to six remote locations, split across both its electricity generation and distribution networks – sites that were otherwise unconnected to head office and unmanageable remotely.
