Intelsat Helps Deutsche Telekom Expand Global IoT Reach
MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Intelsat is one of the world’s largest operators of integrated satellite and terrestrial networks and a leading provider of inflight connectivity. The company announced today that Deutsche Telekom IoT (DT IoT) plans to integrate Intelsat FlexEnterprise into its cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) offerings, extending its powerful, easy-to-use IoT solutions to independent of fiber optics or a cellular network connection.
IoT services are increasingly being used in a variety of businesses – collecting data from thousands of devices, analyzing the data to help organizations increase system efficiency, reduce waste, monitor fragile environments, and provide new insights into processes and operations, etc. wait. Using FlexEnterprise to complement cellular connectivity, DT will be able to extend the reach and effectiveness of its solutions and drive better outcomes for customers.
Brian Jakins, general manager of Intelsat Networks, said: “Satellite connectivity enables the Internet of Things to connect physical objects and devices anywhere in the world to the virtual world to enhance real-time data collection, analysis and decision-making. Deutsche Telekom expands its IoT offerings with FlexEnterprise applications, especially for extremely widely distributed applications such as renewable energy infrastructure and green IoT environmental monitoring.”
Dennis Nikles, CEO of Deutsche Telekom IoT, said: “With integrated satellite connectivity, our DT IoT products can connect everything, anywhere, reshaping the future of global IoT networks. Our customers now have a single point of contact, And a ‘network of networks’ that provides simple, ubiquitous connectivity, enabling entirely new possibilities.”
FlexEnterprise is a ready-to-deploy, enterprise-grade connectivity service integrating satellite and terrestrial networks designed to extend the Internet, cloud networks and private networks. The global FlexEnterprise infrastructure is managed by Intelsat, and customers do not need to maintain their own satellite infrastructure or expertise. Intelsat will provide FlexEnterprise to DT in a satellite-as-a-service manner, which can further reduce the time and cost of operating new services.
The Intelsat FlexEnterprise satellite platform enables mobile network operators to provide services similar to terrestrial networks, regardless of geographic location. For example, IIoT customers can connect devices in hard-to-reach places, such as controlling wind turbines located on mountaintops or offshore, or assess flood risk by monitoring water levels in remote areas.
