Facing increasing pressure from climate change, evolving consumer tastes and regulatory changes, producers need to incorporate new technologies into modern agriculture to maintain yields and quality. Satellite communications allow for improved weather monitoring, precision fertilising, field mapping, crop management and animal monitoring.

Predominantly serving light private aircrafts for tracking and monitoring purposes, our satellite solutions provide you with real-time alerts for emergency situations, changes in flight paths and weather events.

Go beyond cellular connectivity with satellite communications for Internet and voice, ensuring global coverage from anywhere in the world. We offer operators an alternative to fixed line back-haul and a lifeline where cellular or landline are not available, with flexible pricing to suit a wide range of data consumption needs.

Whether you're building a high altitude balloon, working with school pupils on a science experiment, exploring new ground, or simply upgrading your drone to operate beyond visual line of sight, Ground Control's ruggedised, reliable devices will ensure you can send and receive all the data you need.

With satellite communications, agencies have successfully improved their fore-knowledge of desert locust invasions; improved water resource management in drought-affected areas; tracked natural disasters to improve response times and recovery efforts; tracked fishing fleets to reduce illegal, unsustainable catches - and more.

From round the world yacht races to adventure racing; car rallies to world-record breaking aviation challenges; Ground Control has worked with hundreds of event organisers to provide reliable, secure, affordable tracking and monitoring services. We're the owners of the YB Tracking brand, a household name in event tracking.

First responders are heading into the unknown: natural and man-made disasters can lead to cellular dead-zones, making command and control of these challenging situations exponentially harder. Ground Control's satellite solutions deliver all-location internet and phone communication so you're always covered.

With satellite comms, you can manage forest assets remotely in real-time, including mapping, lone worker safety, environment and weather monitoring. This allows for inventory management, supervising deforestation and mitigating the impact from fires with an alert system, among others.

We provide a full suite of services for commercial, regulatory and mission critical applications, including broadband connectivity on ships, fish aggregating devices (FAD) and monitoring of shipping containers. These are complemented by satellite Internet and voice communications to enhance the safety of crew and passengers and keep them connected to loved ones.

Journalists travel to risky areas, with both known and unknown danger. You cannot rely on communication facilities on the ground such as mobile phone (GSM) networks as these can be easily turned off by authorities with little or no notice. With Ground Control's RockSTAR unit, you have an accurate, secure and reliable means of communicating with the studio.

Without communications it would be impossible to carry out military operations, and challenges with unreliable cellular coverage have led to big changes in how the military executes its communications networks. Our satellite communications solutions have sought to bridge this gap.

Improve sustainability and economics of mining through real-time meter readings (incl. drilling, pressure sensors and oxygen levels), worker tracking to enhance health and safety, asset tracking in remote locations and aid in exploration through satellite imaging.

Oil rigs and offshore platforms are situated in remote locations, so satellite communications are key for pipeline and equipment monitoring plus real-time asset tracking (including tankers and vessels). Satellite Internet and voice services also promote safer working, ensuring your crew stay connected.

Fleet management and tracking of assets for logistics without concerns for borders or remote locations is made possible through satellite communications. You can rest assured that your assets are accounted for, as well as provide communication services in trains, ships, or trucks with satellite Internet and voice communications.

We enable continuous monitoring of remote assets and can set up instant, real-time alerts, mitigating utility disruption to consumers. We support smart grids (including meter readings and network monitoring), renewables, (including offshore wind farms and solar farms), worker safety, SCADA and emergency shut off.
