## The challenge

Modern smart borders use distributed seismic, acoustic, radar, thermal and camera sensors across hundreds of kilometers. Many locations lack reliable terrestrial communications, limiting real-time situational awareness and delaying alarms.

- No resilient communications infrastructure along remote borders.
- High cost of extending terrestrial communications.
- Delayed alarm delivery and reduced situational awareness.
- Unattended infrastructure requires continuous 24/7 monitoring.

## The HiSKY solution

A compact HiSKY Dynamic Ka/Ku 16×16 terminal connects each smart-fence gateway. The gateway aggregates nearby sensor data and relays alarms, telemetry, health information and optional images over a private GEO satellite network to the customer’s Network Operations Center.

- Private satellite communications for distributed sensor gateways.
- Capacity suited to low- and mid-rate sensor traffic.
- Fence- or pole-mounted installation without terrestrial network build-out.
- Remote configuration, monitoring and management through Space Control (NMS).

## What the solution enables

### Connectivity

Continuous satellite connectivity at distributed border sites.

### Deployment

Rapid installation with minimal infrastructure.

### Alarms

Real-time alarm delivery to the operations center.

### Visibility

Centralized monitoring of distributed border assets.
