Canadian fleets, especially those in industries like oil and gas, mining, forestry, and long-haul transportation, face unique challenges due to our unique geography. Cellular coverage is strong in urban centers, but less than 30% of Canada’s landmass has service, leaving many operators without reliable connectivity in critical areas.
On May 2nd, Samsara introduced its new Satellite Connectivity solution, a game-changer for fleet operations that directly impacts driver safety, operational delays, and visibility into drivers and assets. Samsara’s new solution, available across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, directly addresses these challenges by providing seamless coverage, ensuring that fleets can stay connected, protected, and productive, no matter where their work takes them.
For fleets operating in industries like oil and gas, mining, and logging, where connectivity is crucial but cellular coverage is unreliable, Samsara’s Satellite Connectivity solution provides a critical advantage: maintaining visibility and communication with drivers and assets in areas with limited or no cellular coverage. Samsara’s Satellite Connectivity delivers three core benefits
- Enhanced Worker Safety: Ensures consistent communication for lone workers, even when cellular service is lost using a compact, rugged modem that automatically switches between networks to keep location data flowing.
- Improved Operational Visibility: Provides reliable GPS tracking every 15 minutes via satellite, eliminating blind spots and dispatch delays.
- More Accurate Customer Communication: Enables more precise ETAs, even during coverage gaps. This keeps customers informed with accurate delivery times, improves satisfaction and strengthens business relationships.
Staying connected in remote environments is more critical than ever, and Samsara’s Satellite Connectivity solution provides the peace of mind to ensure fleets can stay connected with their teams and ensure the safety and efficiency of their operations.
