The Argentine telecommunications company announced the acquisition of a new Internet of Things (IoT) solution for the implementation of its wholesale connectivity services. From the implementation of this solution, ARSAT takes a big step in the objective of shortening the digital gap throughout the territory.
The solution, created by ST Engineering iDirect, incorporates an optimized waveform for IoT technology, along with a cloud-based network management system (NMS). Applications include, but are not limited to, the implementation of fleet tracking solutions and more efficient farming practices. In this way, ARSAT will have the possibility of addressing new projects and challenges in the country and within the vertical markets.
“We are very satisfied with this solution. This technology will improve the capabilities of our satellite fleet,” said Facundo Leal, president of ARSAT. «As a public company, ARSAT has the social mission of providing technological solutions that contribute to the economic development of the country and generate added value. That is why we believe in the importance of developing tools for the IoT market and this alliance is a big step in that direction.”
As an example, the satellite IoT solution will allow the collection of critical data from sensors located on farms for the monitoring of various parameters, from soil moisture to the health status of livestock, as well as the status and condition of the vehicle fleet. agriculture, which will result in more and more detailed information for decision-making. IoT services will also provide an invaluable tool for mitigation and eventual disaster recovery. Data from sensors located in remote and hard-to-reach locations can be collected and transmitted via satellite IoT connectivity solutions for immediate analysis.
ST Engineering iDirect, a subsidiary of ST Engineering, is a world leader in satellite communications (satcom). It provides technology and solutions that allow its clients to expand their businesses, differentiate their services and optimize their satellite networks.
