Utilities
Reliable routing, monitoring, and control of resource delivery form the backbone of every utility company’s critical infrastructure. Automating control across the entire network allows swift responses to power outages, demand fluctuations, and peak usage. However, none of this is achievable without dependable data and connectivity.
With 24/7 delivery of your SCADA and IoT data, Ground Control empowers utility providers to enhance operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain resilient infrastructure, no matter the location.

Recommended Devices
Remote Monitoring and Control
RockREMOTE Rugged provides resilient satellite and cellular connectivity for remote utility assets, with support for IP and message-based communications. Its edge-computing capabilities allow data to be processed locally, helping reduce latency, limit unnecessary traffic and maintain visibility of grids, pipelines and water systems.
RockREMOTE Mini is better suited to compact or lower power installations, while RockREMOTE Mini OEM can be embedded into custom monitoring and control equipment.
Secure SCADA Communications
SCADASat by TSAT provides a private satellite network between control centers and remote sites, designed specifically for SCADA and utility communications. Its dedicated infrastructure, encryption and controlled network architecture help protect critical operational data while reducing dependence on public terrestrial networks.
Remote Sensors and Telemetry
RockBLOCK 9603 can be integrated directly into sensors, meters and data loggers that need to transmit small readings or alerts. RockBLOCK Plus provides enclosed, rugged connectivity, while RockBLOCK RTU connects directly to analog, digital and serial equipment for data logging, alerts and remote control.
Field Workforce and Fleet Safety
RockSTAR supports two-way messaging, tracking, geofencing and SOS communications for technicians working at isolated sites. RockDASH provides portable vehicle tracking and messaging, while RockFLEET offers a permanently installed option for monitoring vehicles or vessels travelling regularly to and from remote utility infrastructure.
