Viasat's enterprise business division has launched IoT Nano, a global two-way messaging service for IoT that functions in remote and challenging environments. This service addresses the need for low-data, low-power solutions across agriculture, transport, utilities, and mining sectors. IoT Nano enhances connectivity by supporting both IDP and OGx modes, offering better message delivery speeds, larger sizes, and reduced power consumption. The service aims to improve situational awareness and actionable data for users while potentially lowering costs through optimized power usage and efficient hardware solutions.
The IoT Nano service is designed to address a growing demand for cost-effective, low-data, low-power internet of things (IoT) services, enabling businesses across sectors such as agriculture, transport, utilities and mining to effectively monitor and control fixed and mobile assets with 'ultra-reliable' satellite coverage.
Powered by Orbcomm's next-generation satellite IoT service, OGx - an evolution of the IsatData Pro (IDP) service that offers faster message delivery speeds, larger message sizes and new hardware options relative to its predecessor.
IoT Nano is claimed to deliver near-real-time visibility and situational awareness, as well as richer, more actionable data for end customers.
Viasat also believes IoT Nano will help lower costs in some cases by optimising power usage, resulting in smaller and cheaper solar panels, batteries and enclosures.
