Iridium Edge Solar

SKU: FP-IRI-EDGE-SOLAR

The Iridium Edge Solar utilizes Short Burst Data (SBD) to send small amounts of IoT and/or location data from any location with a clear view of the sky. And, because this device has built-in solar power, it’s self-charging, lasting up to 10 years without needing to be connected to a different power source.

Get Tracking and IoT Data from Anywhere

The Iridium Edge Solar is highly ruggedized, and will transmit data for up to 10 years using solar power to charge the battery. It also features a back-up battery that’ll deliver another 5 years of data transmission (based on 2x per day reporting).

With real-time GPS tracking and advanced Bluetooth capabilities, we recommend the Edge Pro Solar for very remote asset tracking, monitoring and management.

The diagram shows how data is passed from the Edge Solar to you via Cloudloop, Ground Control’s subscription, device and data management platform.

With Cloudloop you can configure your data delivery, activate your devices and manage subscriptions, set usage alerts and cost control measures, track and monitor your devices, and integrate all of this data into your own proprietary system if you choose.
