Your frontier is
our focus

RIVIR is a New Zealand IoT and telematics company building hybrid satellite-cellular connectivity for your remote, mobile, and critical industrial assets.

The RIVIR System blends cellular and the Starlink Direct to Cell satellite network, so you stay in command through coverage gaps, intermittent service, and network outages.

Our vision

Oil fields, ecological stations, electrical grids, mobile assets. This critical infrastructure needs monitoring to keep economies running.

For decades, the only way to know what was happening at these sites was to send someone out there. That's expensive, slow, and dangerous.

By 2031, no industrial asset is out of reach. The RIVIR System, built using Starlink D2C, gives you back control anywhere.
