Building Resilience with Starlink for Facilities Management
Facilities management professionals face increasing pressure to maintain seamless operations, minimise downtime, and ensure reliable connectivity across their sites.
As a highly resilient non terrestrial network, Starlink’s low cost highly performant satellite solution offers several advantages to facilities management organisations looking to future-proof the connectivity that underpins their operations.
Why Connectivity Resilience Matters in Facilities Management
Facilities management teams are responsible for ensuring that essential infrastructure—whether in commercial buildings, industrial
• Real-Time Asset Monitoring: Managing HVAC systems, security cameras, energy dashboards, and IoT devices.
• Remote Team and People Management: Supporting remote teams and technicians with seamless communication tools.
• Emergency Response: Ensuring reliable connectivity during extreme weather, natural disasters, or unexpected outages.
Traditional internet services often fall short in delivering consistent connectivity, especially in rural areas or those areas with particularly poor connectivity options. By using a Starlink service from Onwave to fill this gap, facilities management professionals can deliver a resilient secure service that ensures uninterrupted operations.
The Resilience Advantage of Starlink
1. Uptime in Challenging Environments: Unlike terrestrial internet services, which relies on infrastructure such as cables and towers, Starlink’s satellite-based system with and ever expanding fleet of operational satellites (currently 6000) can remain highly available (99.9% SLA) and less susceptible to physical damage or extreme weather conditions which are often the root cause of terrestrial networks failing.
2. Seamless Connectivity for Remote Sites: For facilities located in rural or hard-to-reach areas, Starlink eliminates the need for costly and unreliable alternatives like legacy satellite systems or extensive cabling.
3. Quick Deployment: Starlink solutions are designed to be plug-and-play, enabling rapid setup when paired with the right Managed Service Provider. This is especially valuable for temporary sites.
4. Scalability Across Multiple Locations: Whether managing a single site or a nationwide portfolio, Starlink’s network can be scaled to meet diverse needs without compromising performance.
5. Flexible Data Packages: Whether you need a small or large amount of Data, Onwave can help you create custom or bespoke data solutions across your Starlink estate, tailored to match the demand within your business.
Practical Applications for Facilities Management Professionals
Facilities managers can leverage Starlink in a variety of scenarios:
• Disaster Recovery: Maintain critical systems during emergencies with a backup internet connection that’s immune to terrestrial infrastructure failures.
• Energy Monitoring: Ensure consistent data flow from solar panels, energy dashboards, and smart meters, even in remote areas.
• Smart Building Management: Support IoT devices and automation tools without the risk of network disruptions.
• Temporary Connectivity: Provide internet access for short-term projects, such as event management or construction projects within your buildings, without lengthy installation timelines.
