When operations move beyond the reach (or reliability) of terrestrial networks, satellite IoT keeps teams connected. Our Military & Defense solutions are designed to deliver global visibility, secure communications, and dependable tracking for personnel, vehicles, vessels, unmanned systems, and remote sensors, wherever there’s a clear view of the sky.
What you can achieve with our solutions
We help Military & Defense teams maintain operational awareness through:
Truly Global Coverage
We utilize the globally available Iridium satellite constellation, for assets operating in remote locations or areas with limited infrastructure.
Secure Data Transmission
With options to strengthen security further using data encryption and a private VPN from our data centre to your server when required.
Rugged, Field Ready Devices
Built for real world conditions, with options designed for long battery life and reliable deployment.
Situational Awareness
Bringing together data sources such as security camera footage, drone surveillance, biometric data, and fleet location information.
Key solution areas
Drone command and unmanned operations
We support drone and unmanned workflows ranging from simple command and control through to more advanced operations, including BVLOS piloting and near real time IP-based communications for live data use cases.
Tracking, paging, and emergency communications
We provide both:
- One way paging for close-to-real time global message delivery, designed to minimize RF footprint and support secure delivery for covert teams, and
- Two way tracking and messaging for field teams who need to stay connected and communicate back to base, including emergency use cases.
Secure tracking and positioning in contested environments
In the field, GPS isn’t guaranteed. We support secure tracking and positioning approaches designed for operations where GNSS may be denied or degraded, helping teams maintain awareness and continuity in challenging conditions.
Common applications we support
Teams use our Military & Defense solutions across a wide range of mission needs, including:
Every mission has different constraints: power, coverage, data requirements, and security posture. If you want to see how these capabilities come together in practice, read the eBook: “Mission-Ready Satellite IoT Solutions for Military & Defense.”
