GRYPS is a non-commercial R&D prototype that scores satellite connectivity resilience for remote and autonomous industrial operations in Nordic, Arctic, and Icelandic environments. It produces a Resilience Signature for learning and documentation support — not as a commercial service.

Is GRYPS procurement or certification advice?

No. Results are indicative research outputs. They are not procurement advice, coverage certification, or engineering sign-off. See https://gryps.vercel.app/methodology for assumptions and limitations.

Yes. GRYPS is a free educational / portfolio prototype with no paid tiers. There is no commercial SaaS offering.

Extreme Arctic Logistics — Svalbard

High-latitude industrial outpost connectivity assessment

Svalbard · ~78.2°N · arctic · Deterministic Model v0.4

ILLUSTRATIVE

Research prototype · Non-commercial · Model-based analysis — not procurement advice or a site survey.

Context

Autonomous safety-critical industrial outpost at ~78°N with Iridium-only connectivity. Stress-tests the model at extreme latitude where GEO options are effectively unavailable.

Evidence hygiene

MODELLED
Iridium-only autonomous outpost at ~78°N — Model v0.4 extreme-latitude site conditions and single-provider caps.
ILLUSTRATIVE
Stress-test scenario where GEO is effectively unavailable; not a Svalbard site survey or SLA claim.
RESEARCH
Polar-envelope research entry; evidence is catalog + model commentary, not measured RF campaigns.

RECOMMENDATION

Implement a dual-provider strategy combining Iridium Certus with Starlink Polar for LEO redundancy, supplemented by GEO backup via Inmarsat Global Xpress. Prioritize LEO-LEO failover for latency-sensitive operations.
