The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing how businesses operate by allowing the collection and analysis of data across many sites and devices in real time. However, for Industrial IoT to work well and the best results to be realized from IoT deployments, organizations need reliable network connectivity everywhere operations and machinery exist, which can be especially challenging in remote areas where cellular and internet services are not reliable or even available.
Satellite connectivity can address these challenges. And while satellite-based IoT is not a new idea, newer solutions like Intelsat FlexEnterprise IoT can provide IoT solution providers with several notable benefits over legacy satellite IoT offerings:
Global connectivitySatellite-based IoT backhaul means that even the most remote locations can stay connected. This is especially important for industries like agriculture, mining, and oil & gas, where operations often take place far from reliable network options.
Support for real-time data gatheringMore-than-occasional connectivity enables applications that need quick …
