Astrocast, the developers of the world’s first IoT Nanosatellite Network, and VERTICAL M2M, a leading Industrial IoT Platform provider have entered into a partnership to enhance delivery of IoT solutions for the Oil & Gas, Smart Farming and Transportation and logistics industries. Together the companies will enable customers with IoT devices in remote locations, without connectivity, to receive critical data and updates and send commands to these assets from anywhere in the world.
While the majority of the world is without connectivity, certain industries require a secure and reliable way to communicate with their assets at all times. Monitoring these assets is key to the success of their business. Astrocast and Vertical M2M plan to focus on highly resilient solutions for three key industries where traditional terrestrial connectivity may be out-of-reach :
- Oil & Gas: Pipeline leak detection and prevention, remote monitoring of key measurements (pressure, gas presence) for off-shore drilling rigs and security for remote workers.
- Smart Farming: Remote management of crops, livestock health monitoring and management.
- Transportation & Logistics: Supply Chain efficiency and delivery time improvement.
“We are committed to offering our customers the best connectivity options available and helping them to successfully deploy their IoT applications,” says Maurice Zembra, CEO of Vertical M2M. “Astrocast is one of the few players with the nanosatellite expertise and technological advantages such as data compression and processing, and the ability to deliver a cost-effective way for our customers to fill in the connectivity gaps that terrestrial networks cannot cover.”
“We are excited to work with IoT pioneers like Vertical M2M and become a part of their ecosystem. Together we will build reliable and affordable solutions for these markets,” said Fabien Jordan CEO of Astrocast. “The combination of our platforms brings ultimate flexibility, reliability, and coverage to industries that have traditional struggled to monitor and maintain remote assets.”
Since 2008, Vertical M2M is an independent telecom software vendor and solution provider specialized in Industrial IoT solutions. With over 40 customers in 10+ different countries, CommonSense IoT Platform is available as a white-label solution and can be delivered either as a cloud-based service or a dedicated infrastructure. The platform enables customers to instantly connect heterogeneous networks of devices, securely and reliably manage fleet of devices and to simplify access to IoT applications.
