Data platforms and IoT

Data platforms and Internet of Things (IoT) deliver global connectivity to industry, connecting smart devices in remote locations and providing tracking where traditional terrestrial networks do not reach.

Industries across all sectors depend increasingly on resilient connectivity across the globe for all aspects of their operations.
IoT enables data collection from small ground sensors which provide localised readings, such as temperature or air pollution levels. This near-real time data can be gathered from smart devices in the remotest and hardest to reach locations, including oceans, deserts and deep forests. It is then transmitted to satellites, processed, and the information needed for actionable insights is delivered.
There are multiple applications across industries, including tracking cargo movements, logistics, predictive maintenance, environmental monitoring and measuring water usage to reduce waste and lower costs.
These applications are particularly relevant to developments in digital, connected and autonomous mobility solutions where advancements in IoT sensors and cloud computing are enhancing the cost-effectiveness of road safety systems.
