Building a global platform for IoT connectivity with Creative5

From agriculture firms to major mining operations, to national parks looking to protect invaluable natural habitats — industries all over the world rely on our satellite communications to control, monitor and work more safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

 

Our new ELEVATE partner, Creative5, is a technology dedicated to expanding IoT connectivity for all.

 

By integrating satellite and terrestrial networks, the company recognizes the challenges of traditional network coverage, which is often unreliable or unavailable in the most remote regions. By enabling both types of connectivity seamlessly for organizations, their solutions can enhance operational capabilities in regions with sparse, intermittent, or no infrastructure.

 

At the heart of this mission is CeresHub, Creative5’s open IoT platform designed to bridge terrestrial and non-terrestrial (NTN) networks.

 

By unifying these connectivity layers, CeresHub enables businesses to collect, transmit, and analyze data in near real-time, even in the most hard-to-reach environments. The platform even supports low-power communication and is versatile enough for a wide range of use cases, from urban systems to isolated field installations.

 

CeresHub is built with modularity and interoperability in mind. Its flexible design allows for seamless integration with existing systems and devices, while supporting scalability as needs grow. The platform’s cloud compatibility, edge intelligence, and robust API support make it adaptable to the diverse demands of various industries.

 

But IoT connectivity isn’t an end in itself. It’s about what it can do for people. And for Creative5, the benefits are clear. Their technology supports industries like:

• Mountain disaster warning & forest protection: Sensors for landslides, floods, and rainfall can operate in remote areas, with satellite connectivity supporting early alerts and localized response.
• Smart agriculture & remote farming: Monitoring systems for soil, climate, and livestock can help inform decisions and enable oversight in areas with limited conventional networks.
• Global logistics & cold chain tracking: Satellite-enabled tracking provides visibility and temperature monitoring for shipments across borders and through varying network conditions, enhancing visibility and enabling real-time alerts.
• Offshore energy & infrastructure monitoring: Remote data collection from offshore wind, solar, and battery storage systems can help reduce on-site maintenance and support system performance.
• Environmental & wildlife monitoring: Low-power animal tracking devices and sensors can support long-term ecological research in areas with limited or no connectivity.

Now, as part of ELEVATE, the company can benefit from our expanding partner ecosystem and work with the Viasat satellite network to bring those benefits to more people.
