Objectives

Magnitude Space aims to build and launch its own small satellite network to collect small data packages from sensors and locations devices in rural areas, where there is currently no (internet) connectivity.

Challenges

This service is provided at a fraction of the cost compared to existing satellite IoT services.

Benefits

Global coverage enables a worldwide service level, starting already from our initial satellite

Features

The majority of applications require message intervals between once a day and once per hour. Only a minority of the customers will demand a message frequency at or below 15 minutes.

System Architecture

The customer can choose between two subscription types: tracking and/or monitoring. With tracking, the customer will receive a unique message ID, time stamp and location from the asset he is tracking. With a monitoring subscription, the customer will get the same information as with tracking, plus an additional 1.4kb of sensor related data. The chain of the data package looks as depicted in the figure below.
