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

December 12, 2025November 25, 2025 Editorial staff

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.…

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

November 28, 2025November 25, 2025 Editorial staff

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…

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

November 3, 2025October 13, 2025 Editorial staff

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,…

IoT-packed ‘flying’ electric hydrofoil launches in Sweden, New Zealand

March 21, 2024March 18, 2024 Editorial staff

Swedish electric boat maker Candela is in the process of deploying its Candela P-12 hydrofoil ferry in both Sweden and New Zealand. The P-12, like other hydrofoils in the Candela range, “flies above the water on computer-guided hydrofoils”. It has limited drag in the water, leaving minimal wake behind the boat, which affords an 80 percent reduction in energy usage compared with other electric vessels – and therefore a longer range and higher speed. Its IoT componentry is not clear (albeit requested by RCR); but Candela claims to have “had…
