The radical developments in connectivity over the last few years have delivered extensive benefits for many industries, especially those with far-reaching infrastructure or assets on the move. Using remote monitoring technology to send and receive data and manage operational activity has improved cost-efficiency, productivity and...
Our reliance on connectivity today stretches much further than just our everyday activity. Large-scale businesses rely on the critical transfer of data to function, and emergency response services need the ability to communicate to help in disaster recovery situations. But terrestrial connectivity can fall short....
Data is the driver of many of today's business decisions. And it's not just on the marketing, research and product development side. Critical data accessed about the performance, quality or location of a company's assets is essential for informing operational activity. When moving assets from...
When Telemaco booked a holiday biking through Scandinavia, he probably didn't bank on being tracked by the EchoStar Mobile team, but that's precisely what we did! With his help, we were able to demonstrate the impressive capabilities of our pan-European LoRa®-enabled IoT network, as explored...
The concept of bi-directional communication is not a new one. For decades, devices have sent and received data via M2M technology. Processes we now consider simple, such as sending and receiving messages on our phone or uploading and downloading documents from the internet, are examples...
Being reliably connected has never been so important. In a digitally driven world, being able to communicate, send and receive messages and access information remotely forms a significant part of many of our lives. In industry, this need for high-quality connectivity can be even greater,...
Primary communication technology is not infallible, with external conditions or technical issues occasionally causing connections to falter. For example, snow, ice or rain can cause rain fade and degradation of primary VSAT communications services. Furthermore, adverse environmental events like floods, seismic activity or fires can...
M2M (machine-to-machine) technology has become essential for many industries to obtain data from their assets and manage their activity. But what exactly is it, and how can satellite services enhance the capabilities of M2M applications? M2M explained M2M or machine-to-machine describes any type of technology that supports...
A total or partial shutdown of power is an unlikely event, but one which could cause highly detrimental consequences if not dealt with swiftly and in an organised way. Numerous factors can cause a site, locality or even a widespread region or country to lose...
At the end of November 2021, EchoStar Mobile announced its innovative single pan-European LoRa® network. Companies with legacy satellite IoT networks in place may question the need to switch to a new solution. However, in this blog, we present three use cases that illustrate just...
