Back in August and September, IoT Evolution World wrote about connectivity — the very lifeblood of the Internet of Things — via satellite IoT (“satIoT”). For example, ABI Research predicts that the satIoT market will surpass 26 million connections by 2030, representing a market size of $4 billion (whereas previous forecasts had estimated it closer to $2.9 billion). And yes, both are undeniably colossal-in-nature types of numbers, but this expected rise in satIoT implementations nevertheless highlights the kind of “highly valuable role satIoT will play in cross-industry transformations,” stated Victor Xu, Satellite Communications Industry Analyst at ABI Research.
In this vein of satIoT, we’ve often discussed low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation-based IoT solutions, as well. This is because (I’ll long-story-short this topic for you, readers) in many use cases, sensors and devices vital to successful IoT applications a.) come with extremely high costs, and b.) are distributed in remote and difficult-to-reach areas; we’re talking about areas with extreme topography, fewer widespread digitalization campaigns, and sites where direct terrestrial network access is far from reliable. But with LEO-powered satIoT, there are advantages aplenty for scenarios like these; low propagation delay, small propagation loss, better network compatibility, global coverage and more. Imagine being able to track sensitive transoceanic shipment routes or managing remote assets and critical infrastructure in even some of the most far-flung, geographically isolated locations.
That’s just a taste of what’s possible with LEO constellations and general satellite IoT.
Naturally, more organizations want in on that action.
Take BCN, for instance. As a communications and technology solutions pioneer since 1994, BCN specializes in multi-location business operations and remains keen on resolving some of the toughest-out-there network challenges.
And recently, BCN officially announced the addition of LEO satellite fixed wireless internet to its extensive Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) portfolio.
This fully managed LEO satellite internet service, in BCN’s words, “is available nationwide as a turnkey solution to meet the increasing demands of enterprises seeking dependable, fast internet connectivity across multiple locations.”
BCN’s LEO satIoT also features:
- 24x7x365 Nationwide Tech Dispatch for Installation and Support: BCN provides customer-focused professional field installation services, ensuring expert setup and comprehensive ongoing support for every business location.
- Flexible Data Plans: BCN offers four Priority Data plans so businesses can choose the best-possible plan that fits their specific needs and usage requirements.
- Expert Monitoring: BCN's Network Operations Center monitors all locations with proactive trouble ticketing, too.
As described by Julian Jacquez, President and COO at BCN:
“The integration of low Earth orbit satellite fixed wireless internet into our NaaS portfolio significantly enhances BCN's mission to deliver innovative, high-performance connectivity solutions tailored to the needs of multi-location businesses. The high-speed connectivity and low latency of LEO satellite internet enables customers to operate more efficiently, no matter where their business takes them.”
