    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions answered

    How does satellite IoT help remote pastoral stations?

    Satellite IoT enables water tank monitoring, livestock tracking, weather stations, and equipment telemetry on properties hundreds of kilometres from cellular coverage, reducing inspection trips and preventing stock losses.

    What agricultural applications use satellite connectivity?

    Applications include water infrastructure monitoring, livestock tracking, soil moisture sensors, weather stations, machinery telemetry, cold chain monitoring, and precision agriculture systems.

    How does dual-mode connectivity work for agriculture?

    Dual-mode devices automatically switch between cellular and satellite networks, using cellular when available for lower cost and satellite in coverage gaps for continuous connectivity across large properties.
