Aggreko designs, builds and supplies generators, Battery Energy Storage Systems, dehumidifiers, and temperature control systems. These temporary turnkey solutions help customers transitioning between energy sources, and industries where there are seasonal requirements, such as maintaining environmental conditions to preserve fruit and vegetables.
They also supply long term equipment for Mining and Oil & Gas operations, for example; working as an engineering partner to enable greater efficiencies and lower fuel costs.
Aggreko’s equipment is usually rented, and is a valuable asset to both Aggreko and their customers. They utilize an Iridium satellite transceiver, supplied by Ground Control, to monitor their generators, which transmits the location of the assets in real-time, from anywhere on the globe. This helps to prevent theft. The same transceiver can transmit machine telemetry and fuel levels, helping with predictive maintenance.
Reliable Streaming, No Matter the Bandwidth
Videosoft delivers bandwidth-managed video streaming that performs even in the most unpredictable network conditions. While traditional systems struggle in low-bandwidth or variable throughput, Videosoft’s technology enables practical, real time video over connections as low as 1 Kbps, easily compatible with the 22 Kbps uplink available on the Certus® 100 network service from Iridium.
Ideal for remote monitoring and surveillance, Videosoft makes live video not just possible, but dependable – wherever it’s needed.
We’ve partnered with Videosoft to bring their unique video encoding and streaming solution to our RockREMOTE Rugged terminal. Available as a native application on the device, the integration allows customers to deploy robust live video surveillance using the Iridium Certus® 100 service, without the need for external encoders or bulky infrastructure.
From unmanned facilities in the energy sector to border security, remote utilities, and environmental monitoring, Videosoft’s ultra efficient compression technology means you can see what’s happening on site in real time, regardless of where that site happens to be. Combined with the global coverage and reliability of satellite, this capability enables faster incident response, improved operational oversight, and smarter decision making at the edge.
