Introduction:
Connectivity powers everything from EV chargers, power grids, logistics, remote sensors to critical infrastructure. But when it fails, the fallout is massive: For example, Uptime Institute data shows over half of major outages cost $100,000+, with nearly one in six exceeding $1 million.
CSL Group, experts in key resiliency solutions such as secure Broadband, rSIM, IoT Routers, and LEO Satellite, therefore brings you this comprehensive whitepaper to help you move beyond redundancy to true resilience:
The paper: “Building Resilience – Why Multi-network / Multi-link Connectivity (and Satellite) Belongs in IoT” introduces a data-driven model for assessing outage risks, explores resilient design principles, and outlines why satellite is a game-changer for many key IoT applications and site types.
Whether you’re involved in EV charging hubs, warehousing and logistics, construction, utility systems, or healthcare; this guide shows how to safeguard your critical operations through assured connectivity.
Key Insights from the Whitepaper:
Drawing from real-world data and CSL’s expertise, the paper breaks down the essentials of how outages significantly affect organisations and businesses:
- The High Stakes of Downtime: Explore our model which separates independent per-device outages (Poisson-distributed with lognormal durations) from correlated “bad-year” events affecting entire fleets. Learn how to visualise how these rarer but severe failures can dominate annual costs, with some of the severest examples being as high as $1.9M per hour for the highest-impact scenarios in larger organisations.
- Resilience vs. Redundancy: Redundancy provides spare hardware and pathways, but true resilience ensures adaptation across them. Learn the PACE framework (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency) and principles like automatic failover, decentralisation, and continuous monitoring—powered by CSL’s multi-network and multi-link technologies.
- Emerging Threats and Drivers: See how LEO satellite technologies help address geographical and geopolitical risks (e.g., cable cuts and sabotage), cyber-attacks, regulatory pressures (like the UK’s 99% EV charger uptime rule), and cross the digital divide in remote areas. See why diverse paths, including satellite, help close security and coverage gaps.
- Satellite’s Critical Role in IoT: Modern LEO satellites offer low-latency (20-70ms) coverage independent of ground infrastructure—ideal for contingency in outages or primary use in remote or hard to reach spots. CSL integrates this into hybrid designs for the highest resilience.
- Methodology and Visual Tools: Dive into our Poisson and lognormal-based model with charts showing outage distributions, durations, and costs. Work with us to tailor it to your needs with parameters like event rates (λ_ind, λ_corr) and mitigation levers (r, corrMit).
- Real-World Applications: Understand the role of our case studies on EV charging hubs, construction sites (avoiding project delays), logistics centres (preventing shipment chaos), and more. Discover how hub size and utilisation amplify risks—and how CSL’s solutions mitigate them.
- Actionable Recommendations: Prioritise high-impact sites, plan for catastrophic events, enhance monitoring, and adapt continuously. CSL’s critical connectivity solutions enables seamless switching across networks, reducing downtime and costs.
