NexxtOne managed link per site. Three ways to carry it.
Starlink LEO, private Ku-band VSAT and LTE/5G, engineered per site, delivered as one monthly service with 24×7 monitoring, private addressing and a single invoice. We choose the carrier for the site. You get a link that stays up.
Pick by physics, not by habit.
Every transport has a place. The wrong one is chosen when the decision is made by whoever installed the last site. We size each site against latency, throughput, power budget, sky view and what the SCADA host actually tolerates.
| Site need | Starlink LEO | Private VSAT (Ku) | LTE / 5G |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical latency | 25–60 ms | 550–700 ms | 30–80 ms |
| Throughput per site | 50–250 Mbps down | 64 kbps – 200 Mbps, committed | Depends on tower load |
| Best for | Video, cameras, remote desktop, large fleets | Polling SCADA, closed networks, contracted CIR | Failover, mainline valves, short builds |
| Power at site | 50–75 W typical | 60–120 W with BUC | 10–20 W |
| Weather | Minor rain fade, snow melt built in | Rain fade at Ku, mitigated by link margin | Unaffected |
| Addressing | Private via SD-WAN overlay | Private end to end, closed ports | Private APN or overlay |
| Where we recommend it | Primary at most new sites | Primary where a CIR is contractual or latency is fine | Failover everywhere it reaches |
What the monthly fee actually covers.
Managed connectivity is not a data plan with a markup. It is the carrier service, the edge hardware, the monitoring, the failover design and the people who fix it when it breaks.

From the wellhead to your data center, on our network the whole way.
Every remote terminal, whatever it rides on, terminates in the NexxtGen Cloud Hub, an SD-WAN virtual network concentrator with your private addressing. From there a single hand-off reaches your data center and your DR site. The map shows the oil and gas basins and pipeline corridors we cover today.
Starlink, LTE/5G and Ku-band VSAT behind one router. Private addressing, closed ports, failover in seconds.
Gilat SkyEdge II-C hubs with fiber ISP at each site, fully redundant, 99.999% availability.
All transports land here. Per-customer VRFs, QoS for SCADA, VoIP over SATCOM, BGP and OSPF peering.
One hand-off to production and one to DR. Your SCADA host never sees a carrier change.
Every link, terminal and invoice on one screen. Weather and usage forecast per site.
Our SkyEdge II-C hub, our teleports, your data.
Where a committed information rate is contractual, latency is fine and the site must never touch the public internet, private Ku-band VSAT on our own Gilat SkyEdge II-C network is still the right answer. We own the hubs, so the service is ours to guarantee.

- MIGRATION
- Upgrade path to Starlink or hybrid LEO plus VSAT, with the VSAT kept live until acceptance passes
VSAT to Starlink, one site at a time, none of them dark.
The playbook below moved a 150-terminal generation fleet off legacy GEO VSAT. The order matters and the rollback is real.
Fleet audit
Every terminal, address, serial and circuit in one list. Sky-view check from satellite imagery before anyone drives.
Waves
Sites grouped by region and outage window. Kits staged and pre-configured per wave, labeled by site.
Parallel run
New link installed alongside the old. SCADA host polls both. Nothing is cut until acceptance passes.
Cutover
Routing moved inside the window. Failover to LTE tested live. Old link left in place for an agreed overlap period.
Decommission
Legacy VSAT removed, returned or scrapped per your asset policy. Circuit cancelled on our paperwork, not yours.
Record
Install book delivered. Site live in SkyView with serials, photos, signal readings and the cutover date.
Straight answers.
Is Starlink reliable enough for SCADA?
For polling SCADA at normal intervals, yes, and the latency is a fraction of GEO. Where a contract requires a committed information rate, we keep private VSAT as primary and use Starlink for everything the SCADA link should never have carried: cameras, remote desktop, vendor access.
Can our sites stay on private IP space?
Yes. Sites sit behind a bonded SD-WAN overlay with your addressing, closed ports by default, and no exposure to the public internet regardless of transport. VSAT sites are private end to end on our hubs.
What happens when a terminal fails?
The NOC sees it before you do. If failover exists, traffic moves automatically. A crew is dispatched with a spare from regional stock, usually within 24 hours, and the swap is covered under the managed service agreement.
Do we have to buy the hardware?
Either model works. Most operators fold terminals and routers into the monthly recurring service so refreshes and swaps are covered. Capital purchase with a separate support agreement is available where your accounting prefers it.
How do you handle data caps and overages?
Usage is tracked per site and per pool every day. Alerts fire before the cycle rolls, and our engineer reviews the fleet quarterly so plans match reality. Overages are caught before they reach an invoice.
