CSL is using satellites to enable critical IoT connectivity to remote or difficult environments where mobile or fixed broadband options are unavailable or unreliable.

The UK firm has launched CSL Satellite (www.csl-group.com/uk/csl-satellite) to provide resilient, encrypted critical connectivity via Starlink’s constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, along with CSL’s managed service that includes round-the-clock support.

As a result, CSL Satellite is said to ensure better coverage and increased resilience for land and maritime applications. The low-cost coverage can be deployed with ease, allowing users to get set up online quickly.

There are three service plans:

• Permanent fixed: Available for static site installs. This plan is suitable for premises in the retail and hospitality industry.
• Movable fixed: Available for those who require a terminal that will be moved between fixed addresses. This plan is for use cases such as pop-up shops.
• Mobile: Available for mobile assets such as light and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, rail and maritime.

“CSL has been an industry leader in providing critical connectivity to worldwide, leading brands for over 25 years,” said Andy Bromley, CSL’s head of product. “Adding satellite technology to the portfolio ensures we can deliver a truly global offering, both on land and for maritime applications.”
