Breaking Down Sensor Network Challenges:
Remote off-grid sensor networks can prove challenging regarding spectrum connectivity, the reliability of date and time stamps on messages received, and the frequency of node failure during transmission. Satellite connectivity provides secure, two-way, reliable connectivity for your sensor data, or redundancy, if the cellular or LPWAN network fails. Iridium’s service is renowned for its 100% global connectivity and ensures upload or download speeds of 22mbps/88mbps. Connecting you to your individual sensors, dataloggers or IoT Gateways anywhere with a clear sky view.
Our Mini and OEM devices testify to a commitment to support low-power networking. When power supply is limited, we try to keep the energy demands of our satellite devices low.
The RockREMOTE Mini provides IMT and TCP/ IP connectivity. It uses less than 0.25 watts in receive mode and peak current draw is less than 1.66 amps at 12 volts. It also supports Power over Ethernet and is easily integrated into existing enclosures.
With versatile connectivity options, our devices connect sensors, or backhaul LPWAN gateway data to destinations of your choice. All data can be managed via our Cloudloop platform or programmable API. You can route it anywhere, including your inbox, so you can pick it up from your laptop, away from volcanic or landslide activity. With pre-coded end destinations built into the Cloudloop platform, we’ve done much of the development work, so you don’t have to.
We understand the need for control and security for sensitive real-time data that inform critical decision-making, government and environmental policy, or emergency response. Supported by Cloudloop Data and NOC (Network Operating Centre), take a real-time view of your data transmissions down to packet level, IP address, and geographical origin and amend firewall rules to protect your transmissions. So you always have a handle on your satellite connectivity and network performance, giving full peace of mind.
The NOC provides a remote view of your network to quickly identify packet failure or unusual network activity. Cloudloop’s Device Manager enables you to connect to your device remotely. You can access service and system logs to enable remote troubleshooting and update the firmware of your satellite device, no matter where you are located.
“Ground Control improves the efficiency and quality of our environmental data gathering. By installing a RockBLOCK in our PTM we can guarantee a great investment and low running costs, reliability, resilience, operator ease of use installation and operation, data accuracy, quality assurance, quality control and data security.”
