Why Digital Transformation Is Impossible Without Satellite Image Credit: cigdemsimsek/BigStockPhoto.com Recent advances in satellite technology are bringing more focus to the role satellites can play in digital infrastructure projects, especially as these projects increasingly leverage cloud hosting and cloud services. While satellite is not a new technology, new innovations continue to emerge, which are allowing space and cloud to work together to deliver greater value. Today, many organizations are looking at satellites not just to connect remote locations or provide more bandwidth to supplement terrestrial networks, but also to open new possibilities in edge computing, private 5G, IoT, big data, digital twinning and more, and do so at scale and with the flexibility to deliver connectivity where the compute happens. Here are a few ways that satellites can positively impact digital transformation and integrate closely with cloud providers. Enabling automation – anytime, anywhere Satellites are enabling automation-related technologies to operate in the most remote locations with seamless connectivity, acting as “fiber in the sky.” For example, in the commercial shipping industry, large vessels are using new applications that automate navigation systems and on-board operations systems. This is important because the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is starting to mandate fuel […]
