Imagine big control rooms filled with screens and each screen was showing a different event from different sources. That's what satellite monitoring is all about and that what's Skygistic's is all about, specialists in providing advanced communication systems that enable businesses to position, monitor, track, control and recover both fixed and mobile assets and enable the monitoring of conditions in remote areas, of which satellite monitoring plays a major role, this is their world and they are the providers. 

There are satellite systems used by the military in “sneaky spy” operations that find themselves into story books and conspiracy theories, but in actual fact, satellite monitoring systems are one of the most useful tools the military can have to prevent certain action from taking place.

Satellite monitoring can provide information about sudden changes of hostile nations etc, and these same satellite monitors are used to monitor the production of nuclear materials worldwide, to give early warnings if a country is producing nuclear weapons. With only half a century gone since the launching of the sputnik satellite, you can imagine the new ways satellite monitoring will be used in the future!

Just last year, China  launched two environment monitoring satellites to send back data on the environment to help reduce natural disasters. In Ottowa,  Transcore, Skygistics regional partners, have recently installed and commissioned new earth station equipment for another satellite communications channel, being the only South African vehicle tracking company which covers Africa and Australia as well as surrounding coastal waters.
