RockREMOTE is a highly versatile dual Iridium Certus and LTE cellular connectivity solution designed for the most challenging of remote Industrial IoT applications. It provides IP-based Iridium Certus 100 or message-based IMT communications for drones and unmanned systems located anywhere in the world, and can seamlessly switch to LTE when connections are available. The unit can be interfaced with via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or serial RS232/485.
The device utilizes an omnidirectional antenna with no pointing required, and provides reliable data transfer in close to real time, even with suboptimal or changing views of the sky. RockREMOTE can be used to transmit data from multiple sensors on board drones and vehicles, and live video streaming capabilities will be added in the near future.
RockREMOTE provides certified support for AWS IoT Core, Google Cloud IoT and Azure IoT Hub. An integrated hardware security module ensures that your data is secure while being transmitted over the network.
RockREMOTE is also available in an IP67-rated rugged variant that is designed to withstand the harshest outdoor environmental conditions, and is ideal for USVs (uncrewed surface vessels) and remote buoys.
