Satellite Hub

The OGLAS Satellite Hub is for the genuinely remote: a site with no mobile coverage, no fixed line, and no neighbour to bounce off. It collects sensor data on site like any other hub — and when you want that data off the site, it goes up over satellite rather than a telco.

When you want satellite

• No coverage at all — back-country properties, offshore and coastal fishing, remote pump and bore sites, anywhere the phone says “no service”.
• Off-site visibility from nowhere — you still want to glance at the site from your phone, even though the site itself has no terrestrial link.
• Critical alerts that must get out — an out-of-water or equipment-fault alert that can’t wait for you to drive back into coverage.

What it does

• Collects locally first — every reading still lands in on-site storage and feeds Local analysis, the same as any hub. Satellite is the exit, not a dependency for the system to work.
• Sends a considered subset up — satellite airtime is precious, so the hub is configured to forward what matters: alerts, summaries, and the cadence of data you actually need remotely, rather than every raw sample.
• Feeds Cloud — what goes up becomes your private off-site copy, viewable from a phone and shareable on your terms.

Trade-offs, honestly

Satellite is the most expensive transport per message and the most power-hungry, so it’s used deliberately: collect everything locally, send up only what earns the airtime. For sites that have any other path out — LTE, Wi-Fi, even HaLow — that’s usually the cheaper Cloud route. Satellite is the answer when there’s no other way.

Pairs well with

• Local — keeps the full, high-resolution record on site regardless of what’s sent up.
• Cloud — the destination for what the satellite link forwards.
• A custom build — choosing the satellite service and deciding what’s worth the airtime is exactly the kind of thing we scope per site.
