1. A method, comprising:
configuring, an Iridium antenna of a deck box device, to receive satellite communications based in the L band frequency range;
establishing, by the deck box device, a point-to-point connection with an L-band satellite communication device via a gateway device, the L-band satellite communication device configured to receive sampled data from one or more sampling devices;
receiving, by the Iridium antenna of the deck box device, one or more data messages from a respective sampling device via the established point-to-point connection, each data message comprising Short Burst Data packets containing respective sampled data;
parsing, by a processing device of the deck box device, the Short Burst Data packets of each data message to retrieve the sampled data;
converting, by the processing device of the deck box device, the retrieved sampled data from each respective data message into a common format;
responsive to the converting, determining, by the processing device of the deck box device, one or more characteristics associated with the converted sampled data;
generating, by a display device of the deck box device, a visualization based on the one or more determined characteristics; and
actuating a strategic operation associated with the one or more sampling devices based on the generated visualization.
