Why Digital Transformation Is Impossible Without Satellites

Energy companies now can get more oil out of the ground using vast amounts of data that makes their offshore exploration more accurate, using a satellite uplink to transmit the data from oil rigs up to space and then off to the cloud. LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube Source: SES 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 satellites are not a new technology, new innovations continue to emerge that 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, internet of things (IoT), big data, digital twins, and more and do so at scale and with the flexibility to deliver connectivity where the computing happens. Enabling Automation 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 […]
