Control and surveillance

SATMOS service enables efficient remote collection of basic environmental and industrial data in the following segments:

• Industrial process control: controlling different variables: flow rates, emission levels, temperature
• Pipeline and power line monitoring: enabling security and real-time monitoring of oil and gas pipelines and electricity power lines with real-time operating data. Facilitating command and control over pumping stations and electric power stations.
• Water resources management: aiming at minimize water loss monitoring of water reservoirs, water distribution networks and sewage systems of state or municipal water utilities that require monitoring and controlling of the water flow, level, pressure, etc.
• Environmental: water level controlling at sea, lakes and rivers, and hydroelectric generators; soil control of old mines, forest fire monitoring, etc.
• Security: monitoring of harbours, remote business sites for SOHO and SME, construction sites, remote parking lots, residential security, etc.
• Other industries: remote controlling of installations such as lighthouses, traffic signals, solar plants, and wind farms.

SATMOS provides two-way satellite communication to facilitate real-time remote control and monitoring as well as automatic data collection from isolated industrial and business sites. It improves operational efficiency for its customers by delivering real-time data to the control centres sometimes located far away, and enables instant transmission of alarms, preventive diagnostics and maintenance facilitating better decision making and reducing safety risks.
