Halytech microSpider satellite data logger

Halytech has released a low-power solution for remote monitoring and data logging which uses the Iridium satellite network Short Burst Data (SBD) service for automated data delivery.

The microSpider satellite is suitable for applications such as environmental, industrial or infrastructure monitoring where other forms of communication are not possible. To reduce the cost of remote site data acquisition, the company has developed a highly compressed data format which is said to enhance performance and reduce the cost of data delivery using the Iridium SBD service.

The product’s configurable I/O combined with Modbus and SDI-12 compatibility provide good flexibility for use with a broad range of instruments. The satellite includes an onboard web server which allows the user to view and configure all parameters without special software or licences.
