Satellite Relay

Pioneering space-based IoT connectivity for global coverage

The Future of Global IoT

Our Satellite Relay technology represents the next frontier in IoT connectivity, combining terrestrial LoRaWAN networks with Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) to achieve truly global coverage.

By integrating satellite-based relay nodes with our proven FRESHDATA Relay technology, we're enabling IoT connectivity in the most remote and challenging environments—from oceans and deserts to polar regions and developing areas without terrestrial infrastructure.

Vision & Goals

  • Global Coverage: IoT connectivity anywhere on Earth
  • Hybrid Architecture: Seamless terrestrial-satellite integration
  • Cost Effective: Affordable global IoT deployment
  • Low Latency: Optimized routing for time-sensitive applications
  • Scalable: Support for millions of devices worldwide

Technology Architecture

🌍

Terrestrial Layer

Traditional LoRaWAN gateways and FRESHDATA Relay nodes provide high-capacity, low-latency connectivity in populated and infrastructure-rich areas.

🛰️

Satellite Layer

LEO satellite constellation with LoRa-compatible relay payloads extends coverage to remote areas without terrestrial infrastructure.

🔄

Intelligent Routing

Smart algorithms automatically select the optimal path (terrestrial or satellite) based on location, latency requirements, and network conditions.

The Challenge

Intermittent Connectivity

IoT devices offer experience brief satellite visibility, leading to contention among nodes and delayed or lost transmissions.

Bursty Data Flows

Large columns of low-priority or redundant data flood the network, consuming bandwidth and energy.

Scalability Bottlenecks

Existing satellite protocols fail to adapt dynamically to increasing IoT device density, causing queuing delays and packet loss.

The Solution

Semantic Scheduling at the MAC Layer

The relay prioritizes data based on its relevance, ensuring that critical and timesensitive packets are transmitted first.

Efficient Uplink Performance

By aggregating and intelligently prioritizing ground communication, the relay alleviates the uplink bottleneck while reducing redundant transmissions.

Scalability and Energy Efficiency

The relay operates seamlessly with existing IoT devices and commercial LoRaWAN hardware, enabling low-power communication and reducing the operational costs of satellite IoT networks.
