Description
Description
The ALPHA-G1-UM is the first crossband Satellite-LoRaWAN® IoT Relay, developed with both ISM-band and satellite band connectivity. It offers a standardized solution to ensure reliable, ubiquitous real-time coverage for end nodes at the edge of traditional LoRaWAN® gateways’ reach. The relay extends satellite coverage through the LoRa infrastructure, even if the devices themselves are equipped only with terrestrial connectivity. This innovation opens the door to critical IoT and IIoT applications, such as monitoring critical assets and infrastructures (tunnels, indoor meters, bridges, rail tracks, cathodic protection of oil and gas pipelines…), all with a single satellite data connection.
The relay is energy-efficient, lasting up to 10 years on battery, or indefinitely with solar panels, and can handle up to 16 devices. In the network, it appears as a standard end-device and offers the same degree of cybersecurity. The device currently relies on S-band GEO satellites operated by EchoStar Mobile, enabling real-time bidirectional satellite communication.
The Satellite IoT Relay has the unique capability to bridge terrestrial IoT (focused on collecting data from nearby sensors) with satellite IoT, extending satellite coverage even to areas that are not reached by satellites and to devices that were designed for terrestrial communication only. The end node devices that can connect to the relay are standard market third-party devices (such as water meters, smart meters and so on) that can be managed by a relay without any hardware modification. Even devices that natively offer only terrestrial connections can achieve ubiquitous coverage thanks to the satellite connectivity provided by the relay.
This device is disruptive for its degree of technological innovation, being the first cross-band device developed. It enables ubiquitous coverage through satellite communication to existing third party devices designed for terrestrial connectivity; thanks to integrated solar panels, it can last indefinitely; it does not require maintenance nor battery replacement; it can be installed in minutes and is completely programmable from remote; and lastly, every message sent and received is secure against cyberattacks, as the entire message transmission chain is encrypted.
The Relay conforms to LoRa Alliance® Technical Specification TS011-1.0.0.
The Relay is powered by the EM2050 S-Band LoRaWAN® satellite module from EchoStar Mobile.
