NanoAvionics Partners with Lacuna Space to Launch IOT System

Lacuna Space Second IoT Gateway Satellite – NanoAvionics has signed a contract with Lacuna Space to support its in-orbit demonstration of an Internet of Things (IOT) communications network. The partnership between NanoAvionics, a leading provider of small satellite solutions, and Lacuna Space, a UK-based satellite operator, is a significant step towards a more connected world.

Lacuna Space Develops IOT Communications System

Lacuna Space has developed an IOT communications system based on Semtech’s LoRa devices and wireless radio frequency technology, and the LoRaWAN open protocol, in partnership with Parametric GmbH. The system uses low-power sensors and trackers to transmit data to passing satellites. The Lacuna Network, a 32-satellite constellation, will provide global coverage for ubiquitous IOT communications, even in remote locations.

NanoAvionics to Provide Services under Contract

NanoAvionics will provide various services under the terms of the contract, including radio-frequency allocation, satellite registration, launch integration, and payload integration. NanoAvionics will also integrate Lacuna Space’s communications payload into the M6P nano-satellite platform.

M6P Platform to Support Lacuna Space’s Technology

The M6P platform is a preconfigured nano-satellite designed to support a variety of missions, including IOT, Earth observation, and other commercial applications. The platform’s green propulsion system enables missions that previously required much larger and more expensive satellite designs. It also allows for orbit maintenance maneuvers, which extends the M6P’s time in orbit and lowers the cost of maintaining satellite constellations.

Full Network to Be Deployed in 2019 – Lacuna Space Second IoT Gateway Satellite

With the help of NanoAvionics’ M6P platform and mission integration services, Lacuna Space will be able to test its technology in orbit in the third quarter of this year. This will pave the way for the deployment of the full Lacuna Network in 2019. The IOT communications network will enable low-power sensors and trackers to transmit data from even the most remote locations.
