Globalstar and Globalsat to Deploy IoT Solution for Monitoring of Renewable Energy Stations in Latin America
23 August 2022 - 11:56PM
Business Wire
Globalstar (NYSE American: GSAT), has partnered with Globalsat
Group to deploy a jointly developed IoT solution powered by
Globalstar’s satellite network designed to monitor renewable energy
stations located in remote areas of Latin America. The initial
deployment will include 23,000 devices throughout the region with
an expectation of additional opportunities in the short term.
The energy stations, which are installed in remote areas, have
historically presented cost implications surrounding access and,
similarly, without notice of service shutdowns, have caused
additional loss of time, revenue, and information. The new solution
will allow clients to obtain daily data, including information on
equipment status and energy consumption. Maintenance costs will
also be drastically reduced with preventive scheduling and
real-time response. The solution will also provide monitoring
visibility as a means of theft prevention.
“This deployment represents a critical milestone in our
expansion into renewable energy verticals in Latin America,” said
Juan Porras, General Manager of Globalstar for Latin America.
“Through this partnership, we are now well positioned to expand
into other energy markets around the world,” said David Kagan, CEO
of Globalstar.
Globalstar and Globalsat have been working together since 2019
on solutions in the mining, oil and gas, and government industries
throughout Latin America. Development of this renewable energy
project started back in 2020.
J. Alberto Palacios, CEO of Globalsat Group, commented, “It was
a technically demanding development where we had to combine low
power levels and high reliability, and our team was able to further
optimize efficiency through the development of custom hardware, an
aspect in which we are particularly proud of having been able to
add value to this challenging project.”
