RBC Signals solution
Partner story
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, RBC Signals specializes in Fractional & Dynamic Spectrum Leasing and Ground Stations as a Service (GSaaS). The company empowers satellite service integrators to deliver tailored connectivity solutions for private IIoT networks.
Deploying private IIoT networks over satellite can be a significant investment, especially due to the high costs of leasing 3GPP-approved spectrum. 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 address these challenges, RBC Signals developed Spectrum Trade Orchestration and Resource Management (STORM), a proprietary spectrum access platform. In partnership with Viasat, STORM provides cost-effective access to 3GPP-approved spectrum, enhancing flexibility for building Private IIoT networks.
RBC Signals' Fractional Channel Subleasing and Dynamic Spectrum Leasing solutions on 3GPP spectrum enable service integrators to access the right spectrum at the right time, and deploy private IIoT networks across key industries such as agriculture, energy, utilities, environment, mining, transport, and maritime.
With an extensive network of over 80 antennas in more than 60 locations, RBC Signals streamlines spectrum and ground station management. This capability helps service integrators offer reliable connectivity, including narrowband (NB-IoT), more efficiently, potentially accelerating market entry and reducing upfront investment.
