From valleys to mountains – Using satellite to deliver IoT
From valleys to mountains – Using satellite to deliver IoT
Delivering IoT services to towns and cities is one thing, and with Smart Cities and Internet in the Car, pretty much mainstream today.
However, there are places with no fixed line or terrestrial network access such as mountain ranges and rural areas. Some applications require Narrowband-IoT, that can deliver communication to devices underground or behind thick walls. But getting to remote locations is the ideal role of satellite.
In these scenarios, only a satellite link, such as Vodafone Internet of Things satellite services, can give you continuous, secure and reliable connectivity when you need it most. Vodafone IoT in partnership with Inmarsat is offering a cellular and satellite IoT managed connectivity service. In combination with other IoT services, such as NarrowBand-IoT, It enables customers to become truly global and manage their assets almost anywhere in the world under a single contract, using a Vodafone Global SIM and on a single Managed IoT Connectivity platform.
