MinFarm LoRaWAN Satellite Gateway
MinFarm LoRaWAN Satellite Gateway
GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY: The MF 460 provides low cost global connectivity satellite to LoRaWAN sensors in remote locations (Satellite terminals supported include InmarsatIDP, BGAN M2M and Viasat FT Terminal) The MF 460 can be powered for continuous operations by solar panels for deployments in locations with no grid power sources. The MF 460 is an outdoor unit with an IP-67 water and rainproof certification and temperature ranges starting at -30 to +70 celsius (Talk to MinFarm about battery selection options outside this range). The MF 460 comes in a variant suitable for operation inside ATEX zone 2, and includes LoRaWAN node options for interfacing with SCADA devices via HART, Modbus and analogue within ATEX zone 1. The MF 460 has a range of remote management tools for satellite airtime, LoRaWAN telemetry, SCADA downlink configuration and battery level monitoring that remove the need for site visits. The MF 460 is certified globally for Europe,USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and Brazil.

Carry-on Kit For Monitoring Goods On Bulk Cargo Vessels
This use case involves monitoring the health of goods during a voyage on a bulk cargo vessel. The requirements include:
- A small and light kit that can be carried on a backpack by one installer
- An easy to install kit that attaches securely to a railing of the vessel
- 60 day autonomous operation from a small and light battery
- Satellite backhaul that is independent of the ship's communications systems
- Omni-directional satellite antenna that allows the kit to be installed anywhere on the vessel and can be used while the vessel is at sea without having to know the route in advance
- The LoRaWAN sensors report once per hour, but the sampling rate required by the application is one uplink every 6 hours (4 uplinks per day)
- 20 LoRaWAN sensors are deployed in the holds
