Keeping your organization and fleets connected: Satellite & 5G guide
When SA Power Networks, South Australia's sole electricity distributor, needed to tackle connectivity issues in remote areas, they sought out a way that they could integrate satellite and cellular technologies. Covering a 178,000 square kilometer area, field crews often faced poor cellular coverage, causing delays and missed SLAs.
To solve this, over 170 vehicles were equipped with rugged Ericsson Cradlepoint routers for Starlink satellite connectivity with cellular failover. Managed via Ericsson NetCloud, this ensures constant network uptime, enhancing safety, communication, and efficiency. Benefits include faster resolutions and improved management.
