Hardware that could literally fit in one cardboard moving carton is about to make millions of polluting machines obsolete.

A picture says a thousand words. Check out the new design concepts for our DIN rail mounted universal IoT gateway for the SWARM satellite network.

Successful operation of an ioSphere IoT gateway, for the SWARM network, on a large forestry machine paves the way for installation on other forestry, earth moving and mining machines.

Rather than describe the volume of IoT data that can be sent through the new SWARM satellite network - we thought we would share a couple of live IoT data feeds from remote sites using ioSphere gateways.

Check out the beautiful housing that’s being designed for ioSphere’s RiViR gateway that will connect the world’s remote industrial vehicles to the SWARM satellite network.

The ioSphere team have developed what we believe to be the very first flat "planar" antenna for the brand new Swarm Technologies satellite network.

ioSphere just sent a pre-start check form (for a pickup truck), from an app, installed on a smart phone, via a wifi enabled ioSphere gateway installed in the pickup, over the Swarm Technologies satellite network and into a cloud based HR system.

ioSphere’s first paying customer is the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, NIWA, one of New Zealand's largest scientific organizations. NIWA monitors a wide range of environmental parameters on land, in the oceans, and in the atmosphere.

New Zealand’s largest mine wanted to monitor the water quality in remote mountain streams. Bathurst Resources engaged with ioSphere to deploy a Swarm satellite based, water turbidity monitoring system using ioSphere’s latest Swarm IoT gateway.

The ioSphere team are excited to announce the successful connected of a large electricity transformer, on the EA Networks grid, in Mid-Canterbury NZ, to the new Swarm satellite network.

Starting around the middle of 2021 the supply of the components (semiconductors etc…) that ioSphere, and millions of other tech companies use to make our products, began to dry up.

Christchurch might not be silicon valley, but it is a stunningly beautiful part of the world to work in, full of immensely talented people and successful companies, surrounded by world class companies operating in every type of environment you could imagine. It feels like just the right place to be working on satellite IoT.

The ioSphere team has deployed a Swarm satellite gateway on Georges Road vineyard. The gateway is connected to a SenseCAP Orch compact weather station which captures air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and light intensity.

As the ioSphere IoT team are setting out to build a world beating satellite communications business, for the new Swarm IoT network, we know we are very, very fortunate to be taking on this particular challenge in Christchurch because of the immense legacy of Sir Angus Tait.

ioSphere’s unique industrial IoT Swarm gateway has been installed on an 58 kWp solar array owned by another innovative Canterbury company called Solagri Energy.

How can IoT systems, using LOE systems like the new Swarm satellite network, help electricity utilities and other infrastructure businesses navigate disruptive innovation and avoid stranded assets?

Satellite enabled IoT is set to transform the operational efficiency and environmental sustainability of industries around the world.

The storms in Oregon knocked out electricity for over 730,000 homes, they also cut power to cell towers. Those towers are a critical component in providing the internet backhaul that powers Smart Grid IoT systems. Those Smart Grid systems are the eyes and ears that maintenance teams need as they work under difficult storm conditions to recover the grid.

In 2021 we are witnessing the convergence of two hugely disruptive trends. Each of these would bring about a big shift in the adoption curve for IoT, but combined they will completely revolutionise the industry.
