Discover Iridium Articles How SATCOM enables Unattended Sensors

Unattended Sensors: An Overview
Unattended sensors are the backbone of the autonomous world, and are primarily used to:Capture and disseminate critical data on a 24/7Be rugged and durable in design to withstand harsh elementsAvoid needing human intervention for long periods time.Unattended sensors are often deployed in remote areas where cellular connectivity is minimal or nonexistent, and SATCOM is the ideal solution to use as a primary or backup connectivity option.

Environmental Monitoring

Our partner Intellisense offers a solution called the AWARE Flood Sensor that tracks flood waters and provides warning signals to first responders about flood prone areas.

Military and Commercial Monitoring

Our partner McQ offers multiple unattended ground sensor solutions for military and commercial use. These sensors are small, rugged devices that can be stealthily deployed (some versions can even be air dropped) into locations that are too dangerous for humans.

Conservation

Conservationists monitoring changes to ecosystems like melting ice caps and glaciers and are also using them to track migration patterns of endangered species like the Adelie penguin population in Antarctica.
