SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) applications are generally used to manage, monitor and control assets or processes and transfer data to a group of widespread recipients, for example in the energy or oil and gas sectors. To guarantee constant data flow, these industries require a solid communications platform. Nevertheless, there are often located in areas with a limited communications infrastructure. Bi-directional satellite technology provides a cost effective communication alternative allowing to set up SCADA networks also in remote areas and hard to reach locations. |
