1、ENHANCING HEAVY EQUIPMENT CONNECTIVITY:SATELLITE SOLUTIONSINTRODUCTION:HEAVY INDUSTRY 4.0Heavy industrial sectors such as mining,forestry,construction,transportation,and manufacturing are ripe for transformation.With challenges mounting from heightened worksite safety requirements,reducing downtime,

2、and overcoming a diminishing workforce,the need to undergo digital transformation through connecting people,data,and equipment is paramount.In these ways,the role of reliable connectivity for these sites and enabling Industry 4.0 solutions such as predictive maintenance,telematics,remote control,and

3、 autonomous operations is growing.With many connectivity options ranging from 5G cellular,Internet of Things(IoT),and Satellite Communications(SatCom),navigating connectivity solutions for heavy Industry 4.0 operations can be challenging.Critically,heavy industries often operate in isolated or even

4、remote locations,far removed from fiber-optic or even cellular-connected infrastructure.Therefore,the cost of connecting to these remote locations using fixed or cellular-connected telco equipment can be very expensive,which can result in poor or even negative Return on Investment(ROI).In the past,o
