SATELLITES

• State-of-the-art nanosatellites, 5 kg class, Swiss made ​
• LEO, sun-synchronous and equatorial orbits
• Redundancy of critical satellite components​
• Extra capacity in orbit, guaranteeing service reliability​
• Propulsion and deorbiting capabilities to avoid debris in space
• Controlled lifetime to keep the best performance in orbit​ and allow new features to be added to the network​

CHIPSET AND MODULE

• Proprietary low-power L-band chipset
• Chip is integrated into the Astronode S module
• Ease of integration (solder-down)​
• Fully optimized for direct-to-satellite IoT applications
• Can be used with different antennas, depending on the application​s

DATA PROTOCOL​

• Optimized for LEO satellites network​
• Bidirectional​ communication enabling acknowledgments, asset commands, deployment of security patches and software updates
• Unicast/multicast capabilities​, one-to-one connection versus one-to-many​

SPECTRUM​

• L-band is the radio spectrum from 1 to 2 gigahertz (GHz)​, it is the most efficient spectrum for satellite M2M/IoT.
• L-band radios have superior performance characteristics for IoT such as​ smaller antenna​, lower-cost RF components​, better propagation (no rain fade, lower power requirements)​, and fewer interference risks than other bands.
• Astrocast is the only NewSpace LEO IoT network with access to L-band spectrum.
• Long-term access to spectrum is guaranteed.

SERVICE

• Bidirectional communication​
• Low latency with full constellation (<15 min)
• Over-the-air updates (OTAs)​
• Multilevel AES 256-bit encryption
• Azure compliant API (pull mode) for easy integration​
• Customer Web Portal with data access​
• Near real-time usage reporting ​
• Pro-active support and monthly reporting
