Whether you’re looking to automate your consumer metering or distribution infrastructure, or gain complete visibility over your entire service territory, Viasat can help. We can provide you with the vital connectivity you need to access consumption data, monitor infrastructure, and stay in contact with your remote workforce beyond the limits of terrestrial network, even in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. You can count on our reliable connectivity to take communications, safety, and resilience of your operations to the next level.
Advanced metering infrastructure
Getting a reliable advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in place isn’t easy. Your challenge isn’t made any simpler if parts of your service territory have limited or no terrestrial connectivity. With Viasat, consider this a challenge overcome.
Our global satellite services can help enhance visibility across your service territory by extending your AMI into areas where terrestrial networks aren’t reliable or don’t exist. With our PTT Pro and IoT Pro services, we can help you to backhaul data from collector points, anywhere on your utility network.
Distribution automation
Automating control across the entire network enables you to respond rapidly to voltage fluctuations, power outages, or peaks in service demand. This wouldn’t be possible without access to reliable connectivity. This is where our services come in — helping you connect and automate your distribution network like never before.
By placing our rugged, secure, and easy-to-install PTT Pro terminals along your power distribution lines, as a primary or secondary link to the utility’s data center, you can automate the monitoring and control of reclosers, switches, and other distribution devices. Viasat can provide you with the tools you need to maintain continuous surveillance of your distribution network, helping boost network efficiencies and revenues.
Workforce communications
A connected workforce is a safer workforce, and a connected workforce is a more productive workforce. Viasat can give you and your crews access to corporate networks for faster decision-making and operational efficiency, no matter where you are working.
By not staying connected, your crews cannot access corporate networks, meaning slower decision-making and operational inefficiency. By not staying in contact, you cannot keep your remote installation and maintenance crews safe. We’re here to remedy this.
We make access to reliable connectivity simple, wherever your workforce may be. Whether you need to send photos or videos from the field to rapidly diagnose damages, join video conferences or connect remote teams on the move, Inmarsat’s BGAN and IsatPhone 2 services enable you to action efficiently and safely to keep your operations optimized at all times.
Disaster recovery
When disaster strikes, you’re expected to restore essential services without delay. But what happens if terrestrial and cellular networks go down? How can you keep in constant contact with your teams to ensure rapid and safe restoration of services? We understand these challenges and the impact they can have on your reputation and profitably, which is why we are here to supercharge your disaster response efforts.
Viasat satellite connectivity services help ensure that maintenance crews are armed with secure and reliable voice and broadband connectivity, allowing them to stay connected with HQ even when terrestrial networks are down. Our mobile, rugged, and easy-to-use PTT Pro and IsatPhone 2 services keep teams connected, helping you to quickly restore critical services and applications.
