Global Mobile Satellite Systems

Satellite Internet & Phone

If there is a risk of cellular connectivity not being available, whether because you or your asset is travelling into a remote area, or as a result of a natural or man-made disaster, satellite communication is a reliable, secure choice. It’s also the cornerstone of Ground Control’s offering, and we work with multiple providers to offer our customers unparalleled choice and quality: Iridium, Inmarsat, Thuraya and more.

We’re here to help you make the best choice for your satellite connectivity needs. Whether to choose Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, or Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO); whether to use Ku-band frequency or L-band; whether you will be better served by fixed, mobile, portable or handheld devices.

“As a manufacturer of our own line of mobile satellite antennas, and a provider of state-of-the art satellite services, we have the experienced team to help you create and implement a broad array of satellite communication needs.” – Jeff Staples, President, Ground Control USA

Enhanced Real-time Tracking and Communications with TracPlus
Case Study

Enhanced Real-time Tracking and Communications with TracPlus

TracPlus is the trusted real-time tracking and communication platform used by first responders, government agencies, militaries, and other critical operators around the world. Their platform has been developed to deliver situational awareness to first responders, irrespective of who owns the asset, what the asset is, who provides the tracking, or what the platform or signal type is – be it radio, cellular or satellite.

Facilitating Renewable Energy with RWE
Case Study

Facilitating Renewable Energy with RWE

RWE is one of the world's leading renewable energy companies, and operates 5 hydroelectric stations in Wales, UK. This is an area of significant rainfall, which can lead to damaging and dangerous floods. But with enough advance warning, RWE can harness this rainfall and use it to supply more renewable energy to the grid. This is how satellite connectivity made that possible.
The Role of Satellite Communication in Military Engagements

The Role of Satellite Communication in Military Engagements

The Icom Push To Talk (PTT) has been a lifeline for over 400 troops entering into unchartered territory while serving their country. Since the army’s adoption of the PTT system, battalions have been able to avoid otherwise deadly enemy engagements through instantaneous communication ability and Talk Groups.

IoT / M2M Satellite Connectivity

Many industrial IoT applications involve remote locations: oil and gas pipelines, data buoys, transport telematics travelling out of cellular range, reservoirs and dams powering hydro-electricity in the mountains to name but a few. Using satellite connectivity to transmit your sensor data back to your SCADA software is reliable, low cost, and effective.

All IoT & M2M Devices

Mobile / Portable Satellite Internet

If you’re heading across the ocean or into the mountains, or crossing any remote part of the world, it’s probable that cellular connectivity will be limited and unreliable – and satellite steps up as your best means of staying connected. These devices all create wireless internet hotspots, are highly weather resistant, and can be operated with a single button press, and they’re designed to travel with you.

Fixed Satellite Internet

Fixed in this context means that the device is not intended to be moved from its mount – however, in the case of the RockFLEET and RockREMOTE, that doesn’t mean that the truck, ship or aircraft they’re attached to can’t move! Many IoT and telemetry applications fall into this category; here’s just a sample of products, but please get in touch with Ground Control to discuss your requirements.

Handheld Satellite Internet Devices

These devices are intended to keep people connected. Some specialize in tracking – the RockSTAR, for example, uses the Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) service to track lone workers and adventurers wherever they are on the globe – whereas others are intended for voice communication, such as the Iridium 9575 PTT Handset Phone, which acts like a satellite based walkie-talkie, connecting you to a pre-defined call group.
