Paving the Way for Next-Generation Satellite Communications

With demand for satellite-based Industrial IoT solutions continuing to rise - where satellites connect everything from Agriculture, Utilities, Energy, Environment, Mining, Maritime, and Transport - powerful, reliable satellite communication has never been more important.

Enter our new ELEVATE partner RBC Signals, a company that’s helping companies stay connected with innovative solutions for satellite-based IoT networks. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, RBC Signals specializes in Fractional & Dynamic Spectrum Leasing and Ground Stations as a Service (GSaaS) to offer cost-effective and flexible solutions for private IoT networks. Their mission? To make satellite communication for IoT more flexible, affordable, and reliable – and they’re doing just that, one device at a time.

Deploying private Industrial IoT networks over satellite can be a significant investment. Many service integrators opt for reselling Managed Services from satellite operators, but this can limit flexibility and customization, often locking them into specific equipment, fixed service level agreements (SLAs), and preset data packages. In some countries, government regulations may even prohibit Managed Services if the gateway (teleport) is not in-country, making a private network with a sovereign in-country gateway the only viable solution.

To help service integrators differentiate themselves by creating customized solutions with private IoT networks, RBC Signals offers Fractional & Dynamic Spectrum Leasing solutions with the required gateway (teleport) infrastructure. This capability enables service integrators offer reliable connectivity, including narrowband (NB-IoT), more efficiently, potentially accelerating market entry and reducing upfront investment.

The company offers a range of services, including:

• Provides Service Integrators with the option to deploy private IoT networks for enhanced flexibility.
• Proprietary STORM platform supports easy integration and testing for private IoT networks, with Fractional & Dynamic Spectrum Leasing solutions.
• Supplies in-country gateway antennas for private IoT networks to support Sovereign Data and Regulatory compliance.
• Provides Ground Stations as a Service, including procurement, installation, and management.
• Offers integrators access to 90+ antennas across more than 60 locations.

Now, RBC Signals has partnered with the ELEVATE program - giving its solutions access to a growing partner ecosystem to provide even more robust satellite connectivity solutions. Joining ELEVATE aims to help RBC Signals boost their capabilities, enabling them to support some of the most advanced communications networks in space.
