Telefónica Deutschland and Crout launch Resilient Connectivity Solution

When monitoring cold chains, securing cash transports, transmitting vital data, or activating backup systems, the connection must never be interrupted. Telecommunications provider Telefónica Deutschland has gained a new partner for the Internet of Things in the German company Crout. Together, the companies are now launching the “2CoreSIM” on the market: an IoT solution that combines two independent network profiles on a single SIM card and automatically switches to the alternative connection in the event of disruptions. “Digital processes are becoming increasingly business-critical for companies. Anyone who monitors the flow of goods,…

Why satellite connectivity still is the answer for truly global, mobile connectivity

Why satellite connectivity still is the answer for truly global, mobile connectivity

Vehicles and containers all need to be able to communicate so they can share and receive an increasing array of important data. This extends from comparatively simple use cases such as regular location updates so arrival times can be projected to more complex data such as confirmation that the cold chain for fresh produce has not been interrupted. The next step will be greater automation with degrees of autonomous vehicles already being deployed. All of this relies on secure, low-latency, uninterrupted access to connectivity as objects move through the world.…

Green jobs could bring $280bn to city economies by 2040

Green jobs could bring $280bn to city economies by 2040

Cities can unlock a $280bn economic opportunity by stepping up recruitment and training for workers in the green economy, including harnessing the economic contribution of migrants, a new report suggests. Analysis reveals that four in 10 jobs created globally by 2040 will be green jobs, roles that contribute to preserving or restoring the environment. But the report from C40 Cities, the Climate Migration Council and the Mayors Migration Council, has cautioned that unless significant investment is made in the workforce, up to six million of those jobs could go unfilled,…

Oil and gas: Where high risks are mitigated with resilient, secure, satellite connectivity

Where high risks are mitigated with resilient, secure, satellite connectivity

The oil and gas industry has always been an early adopter of satellite communications technology. The industry has a fundamental need for high quality connectivity in remote locations from exploration sites in jungles and deserts to offshore drilling rigs in oceans. This connectivity has to be highly-available, robust, secure and reliable. Oil and gas has an industrial footprint that goes far beyond drilling rigs and exploration bases. Refineries, pipelines and distribution networks are also central to industry operations and these are also often in remote locations. Think of pipelines that…
