Going out into isolated locations is always a risk. If you experience an issue, getting help is often not straightforward, with coverage for communication networks limited or non-existent.
However, connectivity technology is advancing, and now solutions are available to not only help you send a distress signal if an emergency occurs but also communicate with friends or family back home as needed.
Forward-thinking IoT solutions provider Connected was founded in 2023 to bridge the digital divide and provide easily accessible connectivity for everyone, everything, everywhere. Its team recently launched Connected One, an innovative IoT solution designed to address and mitigate the risks involved with going off-grid. This solution enables users to turn their everyday smartphone into a satellite-connected device that provides reliable connectivity in even the most remote locations.
In this use case, we explore the features and benefits of Connected One, the challenges it helps overcome and examples of the applications where it offers value. We also share how Connected has partnered with EchoStar Mobile to integrate direct-to-satellite connectivity into its new IoT solution and ensure reliable connectivity in remote locations. Finally, the future is addressed, looking at how Connected aims to evolve this technology and enhance its advantages.
