Connecting Your Most Remote Sites
Automated Monitoring and Control
In the power sector alone, 53% report they are unable to fully monitor connected systems. Ground Control delivers two way satellite connectivity throughout the network, using BGAN terminals in “dead zones”.
Our own hybrid Iridium Certus / LTE product, the RockREMOTE, also guarantees robust communication, while bridging the gap between legacy technology and digital service evolution – supporting both IP and serial M2M.
Resilient Failover Communications
Communication networks often have stringent availability requirements, which need to be rapidly restored following a connection failure.
Ground Control offers backup terrestrial networks in case of system failures, and facilitate secure IoT network backhaul, to ensure your data keeps flowing, even when the grid stops.
One customer operates a critically important gas pipeline. To run production they must have two out of three means of communicating with the sensors along the pipeline operational at any given time. They have two satellite links and one cellular. In 16 years, neither satellite connection has ever failed, illustrating the value of having a non-terrestrial network as part of your infrastructure resilience.
Field Workforce Safety and Enablement
Field technicians need to remain connected with their base of operations for their safety, to complete tasks and submit reports, and for their well-being. Personal tracking devices like the RockSTAR deliver peace of mind, with location updates, up to every 15 seconds.
A developing use of portable satellite communication devices such as the MCD-4800 and MCD-MissionLINK is to allow on-site engineers to liaise in real-time with back office staff. The goal is to enable the engineer to resolve problems without needing to deploy more people into the field, saving time and money, and restoring services more quickly.
