What we do
Ground Control specializes in connecting hard-to-reach people and things, and we’ve been doing this since 2002. We’re experts in delivering connectivity when there’s no cellular or fiber availability, using affordable and reliable satellite services from our airtime partners. We design and build our own hardware, and work with trusted third parties so that we can match our customers to the best product and airtime for their purposes. From first responders to remote field workers, wind farms to well sites, whether you need to collect IoT data, track positions, access the internet, or make video calls, we’ve got you covered.
How we do it
Sometimes, your connectivity goals can be achieved simply by selecting the right device and airtime, and we’re perfectly placed to help if that’s your requirement.
We design and build our own hardware covering the entire spectrum of connectivity requirements, with manufacturing facilities here in the United States, and in the UK.
Our long-term partnerships with airtime providers such as Inmarsat and Iridium mean that we have access to the most competitive and comprehensive airtime plans. We take full advantage of their service evolutions in ways that make our customers’ challenges easier to solve.

But Ground Control isn’t just about hardware and airtime
As extreme weather events grow in number and severity, we’ve made our emergency communications equipment even more robust.
As a result of working with legacy infrastructure, our products are highly interoperable with other systems.
Because security is increasingly important to our customers, we have a whole tool kit of security measures that can be deployed as needed.
Ultimately, we’re here to share our expertise with you.

How we add value for customers
Our history
Ground Control as we know it today was launched when three leading brands – US-based Ground Control, and UK-based Wireless Innovation and Rock Seven – united to create a best-in-class technology and service provider in satellite and IoT.
Across the business we have a huge breadth and depth of experience across multiple industries and applications, and we pride ourselves on the longevity of our customer relationships.
Where in the world...?
The Ground Control team is based out of four main locations in the USA and UK, and we have field technicians in satellite usage hotspots like Texas and the east coast of Scotland.
There are over 95 Ground Control team members and counting; one thing that’s incredibly important to us as we continue to grow is that we retain the character of a small business – loyal, personable and approachable.
It might be old-fashioned, but we treat our customers as we’d want to be treated, with personal attention, expert insight, and objective advice.
