Advancing Remote Monitoring: Hiber Joins Viasat ELEVATE
10-16-2025
Hiber is technology company that has been making waves with satellite-powered IoT solutions for the energy sector.
The energy sector is currently facing multiple, competing priorities – including meeting safety, sustainability and efficiency targets - while global energy demand rises amidst supply chain challenges and rising threats.
To help meet these complex challenges, the satellite communications industry is innovating at speed and scale - and Viasat’s ELEVATE community is at the heart of it. We are pleased to welcome our latest member, Hiber, a Dutch technology company that has been making waves with satellite-powered IoT solutions for the energy sector.
Energy companies face a persistent challenge: monitoring assets in remote, hard-to-reach locations. Deploying personnel to these sites, sometimes in extremely challenging weather conditions, can prove costly, impractical, and at times downright dangerous. However, while operators are looking to IoT devices to enable remote monitoring and control, the remote nature of these devices means reliable, resilient terrestrial connectivity is often either patchy or unavailable. That's where Hiber comes in, with its game-changing, satellite-enabled, HiberHilo® solution.
HiberHilo® is an IoT powerhouse that enables energy companies to monitor off-grid assets like wellheads and pipelines. Its advanced telemetry technology can deliver actionable insights, supporting safer, more sustainable remote operations. By utilizing HiberHilo® users can track critical parameters like pressure, temperature, and flow rates without the need for on-site personnel or additional infrastructure.
It brings together advanced sensors, software and satellite connectivity in a single package. This means energy companies can enjoy real-time insights into their operations, even in the most challenging environments. Backed by reliable satellite connectivity, solutions like HiberHilo® can provide an added layer of reassurance for energy operators.
- Real-time visibility: Catch issues before they become major problems
- Reduced inspection costs: Less need for on-site checks in remote or hazardous areas
- Data-driven efficiency: Streamline operations and support regulatory compliance
- Maximized uptime: Respond quickly to alerts and minimize downtime
- Easy-to-use solutions: Quick and simple installation without the need for specialized knowledge or extensive training
Hiber's impact goes beyond just the energy industry. By enabling more efficient and sustainable operations, they're helping reduce the environmental footprint of energy production. Plus, their technology enhances safety for workers by minimizing the need for on-site personnel in potentially hazardous locations. Its solutions help energy companies streamline and reduce the cost of monitoring off-grid assets like wellheads and pipelines. Using advanced telemetry technology, Hiber delivers actionable data insights that can support safer, more sustainable, and more efficient remote operations.
Simon Philipsen, Hiber's Managing Director, sums it up perfectly:
"At Hiber, we’ve always believed that online monitoring for wells and pipelines is key to mitigating risks in remote fields. Spotting sudden changes reduces the risk of leaks and spills of hazardous elements that could harm local ecosystems. Rapid response allows engineers to be at the right place at the right time."
And reflecting on the Viasat ELEVATE program added:
"ELEVATE represents our commitment to collaboration and innovation. We're excited to partner with like-minded companies to tackle real-world challenges." This partnership is all about creating smarter, more reliable solutions together.
Simon Philipsen, Hiber's Managing Director
With Hiber on board, Viasat ELEVATE is one step closer to achieving its vision of a more connected world. Together, we're driving towards a future where technology and collaboration come together to create a better world for all. This partnership is a significant milestone, and we're excited to see the innovative solutions that will emerge from it.
