Mopeka announces global satellite connectivity through Swarm.
Satellite will further extend and empower the growing use of sonar tank monitoring solutions through the utilization of Swarm’s global satellite array, providing a cost effective and reliable alternative to existing communications protocols.
Mopeka®, a leading provider of Sonar Tank Monitoring Solutions are proud to announce the extension of their communications protocols to include satellite, complimenting their existing Bluetooth, WiFi and Global 4G LTE networks. The offering gives Mopeka’s customer base, an ability to connect to their sensors, cost effectively, anywhere in the world.
Sonar Tank Monitoring has enjoyed accelerated adoption in the marketplace over recent years under Mopeka’s award winning and patented solutions, largely in part due to its increased accuracy, ease of installation and communication. Whether Propane, Heating oil, Water, Anhydrous or other liquid commodities, sonar tank monitoring can better manage existing volumes and streamline supply chain management. However, the “tyranny of distance” from Cell towers has meant that some potential deployments have been difficult to communicate with. Not anymore!
Swarm is committed to making data and communications accessible to everyone, everywhere on Earth. Their uniquely small satellites enable the company to provide network services and user hardware at the industry’s lowest cost and deliver maximum value to customers across a range of industries including maritime shipping, agriculture, energy, and ground transportation, providing the highest value for low bandwidth IoT use cases such as asset tracking and sensor monitoring. Swarm currently has 150 satellites in orbit (as at end 2022) providing 100% global coverage.
“Our clients expect the ability to connect to their sensors from anywhere to everywhere. It’s crucial. They have data and telemetry needs that are only going to increase. At Mopeka, we understand and offer that connectivity, now more than ever, through our engagement with Swarm. Satellite connectivity is a differentiator. It gives our clients, no matter how remote, the ability to monitor and measure tank volume and utilization at a reasonable cost.” said Kevin Jaffe, COO, Mopeka.
