Brazil, April 2026 – Nordian, the industrial positioning and fleet intelligence platform for agriculture, transport, and mining, announces an agreement authorizing it to resell Starlink satellite service. The result is a managed service offering that brings centimeter positioning, resilient connectivity, and fleet intelligence to industrial OEMs.
The new solution will be presented to the market during Agrishow 2026, the largest agricultural technology fair in Latin America, held from April 27 to May 1 in Ribeirão Preto (SP).
Under the agreement, OEMs can now embed Nordian’s integrated positioning and connectivity platform directly on the production line, enabling them to deliver integrated positioning and connectivity in challenging environments such as isolated fields, long-distance routes, and mining areas where network signals are unstable or non-existent. In practice, machinery and vehicles leave the factory already connected, capable of transmitting data in real time, receiving remote updates, and operating with continuous communication even in areas without cellular coverage.
The initiative addresses a structural challenge in asset-intensive and distributed sectors such as agriculture, transportation, and mining, where connectivity remains limited outside major urban centers, restricting the full use of digital and automation technologies. Without reliable connectivity, features already available in machinery, such as telemetry, automation, and data analysis, are often underutilized in most operations.
Until now, satellite connectivity in machinery required high integration costs, hardware not designed for industrial environments, and no authorized path to production. Nordian’s platform delivers production-ready satellite connectivity alongside centimeter positioning and fleet intelligence, available to OEMs as a single embeddable offering.
As an authorized reseller of Starlink, Nordian integrates Starlink Kits into UltraLink, a ruggedized embedded gateway purpose-built for Physical AI, which refers to artificial intelligence systems that operate and interact with the physical world, such as autonomous machines, robots, and industrial automation. UltraLink unifies centimeter positioning, Starlink connectivity, and fleet intelligence in a single device, with a management layer that activates and monitors hundreds of devices via dashboards and APIs integrated into OEM systems.
“Physical AI runs on three things: precise positioning, connectivity, and fleet intelligence. Nordian delivers all three as one solution, so OEMs can bring new technology to market dramatically faster,” states Carlos Agusti, Director of Sales Americas for Nordian in Brazil. “Just as the internet transformed urban dynamics in recent decades, continuous connectivity in operational environments has the potential to redefine how machines, data, and operations integrate.”
Another differentiator lies in the data consumption model. The company adopts a shared pool system among devices, with billing based on the volume effectively used. This model replaces fixed-allowance plans, which are less efficient for low-consumption applications, and enables cost optimization in operations with large connected fleets.
The applications span three main markets. In agriculture, tractors and harvesters operate with continuous connectivity even in remote areas, enabling real-time telemetry, remote updates, and operational monitoring. In transportation, vehicles on long routes maintain a stable connection for passengers throughout the journey. In mining, equipment in isolated areas maintains constant communication with control centers, increasing operational efficiency and safety.
The agreement also addresses growing demand for officially backed solutions. As an authorized reseller of Starlink, Nordian provides manufacturers with Starlink hardware and service alongside a managed service platform with specialized technical support, acting as the technology infrastructure behind advanced automation in demanding operational environments. Nordian is already deployed with dozens of equipment manufacturers across agriculture, mining, and transportation, including some of the world’s largest agriculture OEMs and 80 percent of the top 20 South American agriculture companies, supported by more than 150 Nordian CORS positioning stations across Brazil and Argentina.
Nordian will demonstrate its managed service capabilities at Agrishow 2026, booth I 006.
