Rogers Communications has introduced a satellite-enabled IoT connectivity service, marking the first offering of its kind by a Canadian wireless carrier. In partnership with Geotab, the company launched GO Anywhere Plus, a service designed to extend asset and fleet management capabilities to remote areas across Canada where conventional cellular infrastructure is limited or absent.
The service utilizes Rogers Satellite's low-earth orbit technology to provide continuous connectivity for tracking applications including fleet vehicles, shipping containers, and equipment. By bridging the connectivity gap in remote regions, the offering addresses a significant operational constraint for businesses that rely on real-time asset visibility across expansive geographic territories. The integration combines Rogers' satellite infrastructure with Geotab's fleet management platform, enabling customers to maintain tracking functionality regardless of cellular coverage availability.
This development reflects the broader industry shift toward satellite-based IoT solutions as enterprises seek to optimize operations in coverage-limited areas. The service positions Rogers to capture demand from logistics, transportation, and resource-intensive industries that operate extensively in Canada's remote regions and require reliable asset monitoring capabilities.
