RBC Signals and Inmarsat announce strategic agreement on global IoT connectivity

RBC Signals, global provider of satellite data communication products and solutions, announced a strategic agreement with Inmarsat, the world leader in global mobile satellite communications. The agreement will see RBC Signals use Inmarsat’s global network to connect its range of applications and solutions for enterprise customers.

The global multi-year leasing agreement pairs Inmarsat’s worldwide ELERA and Global Xpress satellite networks with RBC Signals’ range of new and existing data and Internet of Things (IoT) applications for use across multiple verticals, including oil and gas, maritime, agriculture and utilities. RBC Signals will incorporate these latest evolutions of Inmarsat’s L-band and Ka-band networks into its applications and solutions, enabling new levels of flexibility and service customisation.

Where previous leasing agreements were based on static, pre-set network connectivity specifications, the new partnership will enable RBC Signals to adjust dynamically, reallocate and scale up variables such as spectrum, power levels and geographical reach, according to the changing connectivity needs of individual customers.
