Globalstar, Inc. has announced the launch of a two-way satellite IoT solution via its LEO constellation.

This new connectivity solution offers a unique low-power satellite communication platform. It enables assured delivery, low-latency messaging, and reliable, globally available command and control for a wide variety of applications, such as fleet tracking, asset monitoring, pipeline telemetry, vessel tracking, disaster communications, and precision farming. Globalstar’s two-way RM200M module is the first satellite module with integrated GNSS, Bluetooth®, accelerometer, and application processor. “Until now, Globalstar’s 500,000+ deployed active units have been only able to support one way tracking and telemetry applications.

Lasso, a beta Globalstar customer, has experienced firsthand the simplicity and efficiency of the RM200M and the low-code application Realm Enablement Suite platform, seamlessly integrating it into their systems and rapidly advancing from concept to deployment in record time.

“This module is simple, straightforward, and easy to work with – we had it up and running right away,” said Lasso CEO Peter McCormick. “This has been a game-changer, cutting our development time so significantly that we could customize the firmware for our specific application within the same week of receiving the beta unit. That kind of speed is almost unheard of in this industry. The capabilities are unmatched by any technology that we have seen.”
