hiSky Granted FCC Approval for Smartellite™ Ku Fixed Terminal

hiSky  has received Federal Communication Commission (FCC) certification for its Smartellite™ Ku Fixed terminal.

The certification process done by CTC advanced’s laboratories in Germany marks the end of a thorough process to ensure the safety and durability of the unique hiSky ground terminals in compliance with FCC standards.

hiSky’s Smartellite™ Ku Fixed satellite terminal comprise of patch antennas and a built-in modem, providing a mountable, all-in-one solution which independently & seamlessly directs communication over GEO satellites in Ku-band, designed specifically for the growing demand for IoT connectivity.

For example, the solution will permit the collection of critical data from sensors located on farms for the monitoring of everything, from soil moisture to the health of livestock and the condition of farm vehicles, thus enabling informed decision-making for farmers.

IoT services will also provide an invaluable tool for disaster recovery and mitigation, enabling users to view important data on areas of concern such as rainfall and river levels or wildfire threats, deforestation, water scarcity, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Sensor data can be collected and transmitted using satellite IoT connectivity solutions for analysis.

The Smartellite™ ground terminals are the end-user component of the hiSky network ecosystem, also consisting of the hiSky HUB and Packet Processor as the teleport component, and the hiSky360 cloud-based network management system (NMS). The network is specifically designed to transmit and receive IoT/Machine-to-Machine data, at low-data-rates associated with remote IoT applications.

hiSky’s network is agnostic to satellite, allowing deployment with any constellation offering Ka-band or Ku-band over GEO satellites.

“Every certification received is an integral part of hiSky’s strategy to deliver affordable satellite networks for IoT and MSS applications globally. These certifications are crucial when introducing innovative hardware such as ours into the market, we are happy to celebrate this very important milestone.” said Gal Diamant, hiSky’s COO.
