Ground Control is a single-source equipment and service provider servicing Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific islands. We have a wide range satellite equipment to fit a specific requirement, and we’ll provide the service and support. This page shows a list of equipment and service options available in your region.
Satellite IoT & M2M Connectivity
Ground Control designs and builds our own satellite transceivers to support IoT projects as diverse as capturing soil moisture sensor data to improve crop yields, to measuring wave height and water temperature to establish the best spots for offshore oil and gas exploration.
These devices utilize the Iridium satellite constellation which delivers pole-to-pole coverage; as long as your RockBLOCK has a clear view of the sky, it will be able to send and receive data.
Satellite Tracking Devices and Airtime
Our tracking devices are being used by aviators, adventurers, remote field workers, military personnel, sailors and security forces to ensure that when they travel out of cellular coverage, they have a means of being found, and a reliable two-way communication channel.
Robust, reliable and able to transmit from anywhere with a clear view of the sky, Ground Control has a tracking device for almost every application.
Business Grade VSAT Equipment & Service Solutions – iDirect Ku-Band
Performance Grade Satellite Internet from Ground Control will deliver high-speed, low-latency, net-neutral, application tolerant, VPN & VoIP optimized, highly predictable connections that deliver what consumer grade satellite services can not.
Portable Satellite Internet
Ground Control offers a wide variety of portable satellite internet devices for use in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. What we mean by portable is that the devices are small enough to pick up and carry, and all of these devices fit the bill. They are all BGAN devices, which means they use the Inmarsat BGAN airtime service – connecting to geostationary satellites for a very stable satellite connection, which is particularly important for VoIP calls.
Go-anywhere Pro Link – 30 GB Internet & Phone
Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands may consider a portable “Fixed” BGAN terminal using BGAN Link “GEO” service for Unlimited Internet and phone (via Skype). BGAN Link is advertised as “all you can eat” at one fixed location. While speeds are not as fast as VSAT dishes, these terminals can be installed by anyone and used for almost anything.
