Viasat ELEVATE Welcomes GReD: Revolutionizing Geospatial Monitoring
08-28-2025
Geomatics Research & Development (GReD) is the latest partner to join Viasat's expanding ELEVATE program.
As industries worldwide seek to enhance safety, efficiency, and environmental insights, geospatial monitoring is playing an increasingly important role. By leveraging satellite-connected real-time data on structural and environmental conditions, major companies can benefit from improved safety, reduced inspection costs, and streamlined regulatory compliance through automated data collection and analysis.
Our new ELEVATE partner Geomatics Research & Development (GReD), is at the forefront of developing advanced geospatial monitoring solutions to make it a reality.
Founded in 2012, GReD leverages Politecnico di Milano's academic strengths in geodesy and geomatics to drive innovation. Its expertise spans high-precision satellite-based displacement monitoring, gravity & magnetic field modeling, and atmospheric sensing - supporting clients facing complex challenges such as infrastructure safety, subsidence, and landslide monitoring.
Their comprehensive infrastructure monitoring solutions combine millimeter-level GNSS precision with customized sensor integration, providing real-time insights into structural and environmental conditions.
Now as an ELEVATE partner, GReD is poised to make a substantial impact by integrating its advanced GNSS technologies into Viasat's broader ecosystem of satellite-connected solutions. This partnership will enable clients to benefit from enhanced operational efficiency, early warning capabilities, and improved safety measures. GReD's solutions are designed to monitor critical infrastructure such as bridges, dams, and power plants, implement early warning systems for landslides and ground instability, and support natural resource exploration efforts.
By providing continuous, automated monitoring solutions, GReD aims to enhance operational efficiency and early warning capabilities across various sectors, including power, transportation, defense, and agriculture. GReD's core expertise spans three primary domains, promoting continuous monitoring of geohazards and sustainable Earth exploration:
- Geodesy - satellite data location insights: High-precision monitoring of structures and ground displacement using GNSS technology, delivering millimeter-level accuracy for critical infrastructure safety.
- Geophysics - data subsurface insights: Advanced gravity & magnetic field modeling and inversion for natural resource exploration, subsurface analysis, and archaeological investigations.
- Geosciences - satellite data environmental insights: Atmospheric sensing, meteorological monitoring, and hydrogeological data analysis for environmental protection and climate monitoring.
Eugenio Realini, GReD's CEO, shared his perspective on joining ELEVATE: "Partnering with Viasat through the ELEVATE program represents an important opportunity to amplify our impact by integrating our high-precision GNSS technologies into a broader ecosystem of satellite-connected solutions."
“We value the collaborative spirit and global reach that Viasat brings, which perfectly aligns with our mission to provide scalable, reliable, and cutting-edge monitoring services across sectors such as transportation, energy, and environmental protection.”
The addition of GReD to the ELEVATE program underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and expanding the ELEVATE ecosystem, now even to the geospatial monitoring domain. As we continue to grow our ecosystem of partners and solutions, the collaboration with GReD is poised to yield significant advancements in the field, ultimately benefiting industries worldwide.
By joining forces, Viasat and GReD are set to revolutionize the landscape of geospatial monitoring, providing unparalleled insights that will enhance the safety and efficiency of critical infrastructure and environmental monitoring efforts globally.
