Ground Control

Ground Control is a specialist provider of satellite and cellular connectivity solutions for critical infrastructure, with over 20 years of experience supporting remote operations across the global energy sector. From upstream oil and gas to downstream utilities, we enable reliable, secure data transmission where terrestrial networks are unavailable, unreliable or unfit for purpose.

We support energy companies with asset tracking, remote monitoring, two-way communication, and real time data transfer, using our own ruggedised hardware and the world’s most trusted satellite networks, including Iridium, Viasat, and Globalstar. Our Cloudloop platform provides complete visibility and control over device connectivity, data usage, and billing, making remote infrastructure easier to manage at scale.

Our solutions are designed for harsh environments and mission-critical operations, with proven deployments across offshore platforms, subsea pipelines, power grids, renewable energy assets, and unmanned sites. Whether it’s transmitting data from a remote valve, ensuring emergency communications at a wind farm, or monitoring pressure levels on an isolated pipeline, we make the data flow, simply, reliably, and securely.

As a UK-based manufacturer and managed service provider, we offer everything from OEM integration to fully managed end-to-end deployments. Ground Control is proud to support the UK energy industry’s digital transformation and transition to net zero, delivering resilient connectivity for smarter, safer, more sustainable operations.
