Remote and distributed assets no longer require dedicated network infrastructure to stay protected and compliant. KLOCH now works over Starlink, giving operators encrypted, low-latency connectivity to field equipment wherever satellite coverage is available.
Plug a KLOCH unit into a Starlink terminal. The connection to your central KLOCH appliance is established automatically. No manual IP configuration. No VPN setup. No field engineering required.
Works with Starlink and mobile hotspots. Starlink is a registered trademark of SpaceX; Kloch has no affiliation with SpaceX.
The KLOCH field unit automatically negotiates IP addressing back to the server-side KLOCH appliance over the Starlink connection. Once paired, all traffic between the two units is encrypted at the binary level before it ever touches the satellite link. Adversaries on the broader network see only opaque encrypted flows with no discernible protocol signatures, device identifiers, or topology information.
To any device connected behind either KLOCH unit, the remote site appears as if it is on the same local network. OT monitoring platforms, SCADA systems, and HMIs operate as though the equipment is in the next room, not across a satellite link.

Automatic IP negotiation over Starlink with no manual configuration
2
Binary-level encryption applied before traffic reaches the satellite link

Remote site presented as a local network extension to all connected OT devices
Your field technician's deployment process: plug the KLOCH unit into the Starlink terminal. That's it. The system handles secure connection establishment, IP negotiation, and encrypted tunnel creation without manual intervention.
No VPN clients to configure. No exposed protocols on remote endpoints. No software to manage in the field. The same plug-and-play deployment model KLOCH provides on any transport, extended to wherever Starlink reaches.
1
Single-step field deployment — plug in and the connection establishes automatically
2
No VPN configuration, IP setup, or field engineering required
3
No software to manage on remote endpoints, consistent deployment across all transport types
KLOCH over Starlink enables real-time, compliant remote monitoring of distributed OT assets regardless of physical location or available infrastructure. Operators retain full visibility inside each site while adversaries see only opaque encrypted flows with no protocol signatures or topology information. No new attack surfaces are introduced by the satellite transport.
Applicable environments include pipeline infrastructure, remote substations, water treatment facilities, solar farms, and any site where running dedicated fiber or leased lines is impractical or cost-prohibitive.

Full operator visibility inside each enclave with no new attack surface exposure

Suitable for pipelines, substations, water systems, solar farms, and remote industrial sites
NERC CIP-015 and evolving federal mandates require continuous monitoring of OT networks. For operators with geographically dispersed assets, meeting those requirements has historically meant expensive dedicated links or accepting gaps in visibility. KLOCH over Starlink eliminates that trade-off: full encrypted monitoring over commodity satellite connectivity with no exposed protocols, no discernible device identifiers, and no new attack surfaces.
KLOCH delivers the same quantum-resistant protection over Starlink as it does on any other transport. The non-algebraic Variable Word Length architecture reduces reliance on algebraic structures targeted by quantum systems. Well suited for remote assets with long operational lifecycles that are difficult to retrofit.

Supports NERC CIP-015 continuous monitoring requirements at remote and distributed sites
2
Replaces expensive dedicated links while maintaining full regulatory compliance posture
3
Quantum-resistant posture maintained regardless of transport layer
