Meet the Astronode S
Astronode S, a solder-down bidirectional low-power module
The Astronode S is a bidirectional solder-down module for customers who want a simple serial interface connection to Astrocast Network. Its small size allows for its use in embedded applications.
The Astronode S has the lowest peak power consumption available in the market and operates in the L-Band frequency range allowing for the use of miniaturized antennas that reliably work in all weather conditions.
Bidirectional
The Astronode S is a bidirectional module enabling you to get data from your asset and communicate back to it.
Low-cost
The Astronode S has a total cost of ownership up to 3 times less than traditional satellite IoT alternatives.
Low-power
The Astronode S has a peak power consumption of less than 0.35W, making it the lowest available in the market.
L-Band
L-Band enables the use of miniaturized antennas and operations in all weather conditions.
