# LEO & LTE/5G connectivity for the **manufactu-ring sector**

Resilient connectivity for Industry 4.0

[Download Brochure](https://koi-3QNUW33EFM.marketingautomation.services/net/m?md=L8bwhpZaYGlcW55HQ2NTTXuy%2By4iOlJ0dwHj41MMRlo%3D) 

Modern manufacturing environments depend on **always-on, high-performance connectivity** to support automation, robotics, IIoT, and connected workers.

However, traditional enterprise networks were not designed for these high-density, mission-critical environments. As factories scale globally and digitize operations, connectivity must evolve to deliver **reliability, security, and performance** at every site.

With LTE/5G, manufacturers gain the **flexibility, resilience, and speed** required to enable Industry 4.0, supporting real-time applications, improving productivity, and reducing downtime.

The dangers of poor connectivity in the manufacturing industry

When connectivity is unreliable or poorly aligned with operational needs, manufacturers can experience unplanned downtime leading to production and revenue losses, inefficient processes and an inability to adopt modern connected best practices, as well as delays in rolling out new production lines, warehouses, or digital initiatives, ultimately resulting in a negative impact on the bottom line.

## What "**good**" looks like in a modern manufacturing network 

A future-ready manufacturing connectivity model delivers:

### High availability and predictable performance

Low-latency, prioritized traffic for automation, robotics, and real-time applications, with built-in resilience.

### Scalable, repeatable design

A standardized connectivity blueprint that can be deployed consistently across sites and regions.

### Operational simplicity

Central visibility, proactive monitoring, and clear accountability for performance and security.

### Rapid deployment and adaptability

Connectivity that can be deployed quickly and adjusted as operational needs evolve, supporting new production lines, temporary setups, or changes in factory layouts without reliance on fixed infrastructure or long lead times 

Customer story | Oct 15, 2025 

Our business processes depend on internet access, and by adding LEO satellite connections, which are fully diverse from our wired internet circuits, we further increase the uptime of our sites within our budget.
