Satellite Communication
SkyWave satellite communication terminals and air-time services are designed for a variety of security, tracking, monitoring and communication applications. Whether you want to remotely manage a vehicle, heavy equipment or oil & gas equipment, consider the following questions when deciding which series of SkyWave terminals to use:
- What kind of assets do you want to manage? Where are they typically located?
- How much data do you need to send and receive from your assets? How often?
- Does the asset travel between urban and remote areas or does it generally stay in regions with no cellular service?
- Do you want to have the flexibility to reconfigure the behavior of the device once it is in the field?
- Do you need a battery powered device or will other power sources be available?
- Does your communication equipment need special certifications or configuration?
Depending on your requirements, SkyWave has a satellite or satellite/cellular product that can meet your needs.
