The benefits of satellite technology applied to the Internet of Things

oT is proving to be hugely transformative when it comes to remote operations. Using IoT, businesses can set up SIM-equipped devices anywhere in the world and seamlessly monitor and act on them at the base of operations. In theory, it should be.
The reality is that this kind of remote IoT, and IoT in remote or developing regions, is often hindered by a lack of cell tower coverage. To bridge this gap, communication service providers and other private companies use satellite arrays to deliver IoT on land or at sea around the world. Промышленный маршрутизатор/шлюз
Benefits of Using Satellite IoT Technology
It has been established that satellites allow IoT technology to reach devices in otherwise difficult-to-reach areas. That's not the only benefit satellite technology brings to IoT, though.
Cost-effective: Consumers and industrial users can benefit from reduced operating costs due to the combined use of terrestrial and satellite communications.
Low Latency: IoT using 5G relies on low latency, which is why most satellites return data with a few milliseconds delay.
Greater range: Terrestrial connections can cover short to medium distances, however, satellites can cover IoT devices across entire continents.
Greater reliability: The increase in IoT usage means that reliability will become a very important metric. Using a satellite network will increase stability so applications such as remote asset monitoring can take advantage of an always-on network connection.
Infrastructure Transformation: Transportation infrastructure will be a major beneficiary of satellite IoT. The use of broadband connections on trains, marine vessels and freight vehicles is increasing as satellite communications become possible.
Supporting smart cities: Smart cities rely on the latest data to help managers improve sustainability. Satellite IoT enables smart grids to extend to more rural areas that cannot be covered by traditional terrestrial networks. Сервер с одним последовательным портом
Improved safety in offshore operations: Operators at offshore job sites, such as oil rigs, can use IoT sensors to improve employee safety and monitoring capabilities.
Even in the most remote and inaccessible areas of the world, IoT is being used in more and more ways. The ability to transmit signals using satellites, rather than relying on mobile cell towers and the coverage they provide, is a huge advance that will revolutionize many industries and lead to faster development of numerous technologies.
