## The challenge

Remote and inaccessible terrain makes it difficult to establish reliable communications for monitoring and managing solar-energy installations. Traditional communications are often unreliable or unavailable, limiting maintenance and operational visibility.

- No existing communications infrastructure at remote energy sites.
- Continuous monitoring is required across dispersed installations.
- Maintenance teams need timely data from inaccessible locations.

## The HiSKY solution

Hughes Network Systems integrated HiSKY’s Smartellite™ network as an end-to-end solution for 400 autonomous solar energy sites. Smartellite™ Dynamic 8×8 Ku terminals, the HiSKY HBS modem and Space Control (NMS) provide M2M connectivity within the Hughes satellite network.

- Lightweight, low-power terminals suited to remote installations.
- End-to-end integration within the Hughes satellite network.
- Data exchange between solar sites and central management systems.
- Continuous monitoring to support proactive maintenance.

## What the solution enables

### 400 sites

Connectivity for autonomous solar installations across the Amazon.

### Monitoring

Real-time visibility and control from central management systems.

### Maintenance

Continuous site data supports proactive maintenance and efficient operation.

### Remote communities
