IoT Communications over Starlink Satellite
Solution Brief: RAD’s Solution for Encrypted SCADA Backhaul over Satellite
Overview
Satellite Communications provide a perfect fit for countries with limited cellular infrastructure, as well as in rural areas and difficult terrains such as over mountains. In some industries, for example, shipping, satellites are the only option for ongoing communications.
Starlink satellites offer a significantly low latency of around 25~36 ms compared to +600 ms of other satellites. By delivering high-speed, low-latency bandwidth, Starlink offers a good fit for IoT communications, and can be used as both a primary and backup link.
RAD’s solution offers power utilities unrivaled flexibility in connectivity options by allowing them to use Starlink satellite for encrypted SCADA backhaul .
RAD SecFlow IoT gateways include Starlink support, as well as advanced security, redundancy, and protection schemes such as Layer 3 load balancing, packet duplication and Layer 2 over Layer 3 tunneling.
