Campbell Scientific logger users: getting your data over satellite is simpler than you might think.
No new firmware. No custom code. No need to rebuild your existing programme.

6,500 metres above sea level. No cellular coverage. Extreme temperatures, and a site that’s far from easy to reach.
Satellite IoT makes data collection possible.

With satellite tracking and Cloudloop you can receive asset positions in real time, see journey history, set up geofences, SOS alerts, wherever your vehicle, vessel or asset is, anywhere in the world. Find the right tracker for your fleet: https://t.co/IRLNiqVtvi

During Hurricane Katrina, a helicopter dropped a message in a bottle because responders’ radios couldn’t reach each other.

MeshSat links the radios teams already carry, with Iridium via #RockBLOCK as the fallback. We were glad to support it.

There’s no “best” satellite network for IoT. Only the best one for your application. Because we work with Iridium, Viasat and Globalstar, we can match throughput, latency, coverage and cost to your requirements. Not sure where to start? Talk to our team: https://t.co/XNCAggPaZy

Building with the RockBLOCK 9704 on Zephyr?

Scott Penrose built an open-source, MIT-licensed module that wraps our official 9704 library: devicetree binding, thread-safe API, shell and a simulated modem for testing.

LoRaWAN is a cheap and effective way to cover a remote reservoir or water site with sensors. But without cellular or fixed internet, how does the gateway get its data to the cloud?

An icebreaker drops a buoy onto Antarctic sea ice and leaves. Nobody goes back.

For months it measures how waves break up the ice, sending every result home over Iridium via RockBLOCK. Here's how Waves In Ice has done it since 2012:

Jammertest 2026. Andøya, Norway. Full GNSS jamming, live spoofing, real conditions.

Here’s what happened when we put Iridium PNT to the test.

Securing satellite IoT means securing the whole data path.

For IP, that's routing, segmentation, VPNs, and firewalls.
For Messaging (SBD/IMT): payload encryption, signing, anti-replay, device identity.

Checklists for both: https://t.co/rwmjtGvnz4

One of the biggest hurdles in remote monitoring isn't the satellite link - it's integration.
In our blog, Michael walks through real integrations of RockREMOTE Mini with Campbell Scientific and NRG Systems, including the settings you'll need to change https://t.co/xsLbeovxr2

SBD or IMT?

SBD (Iridium 9603): up to 340 bytes, best for tiny payloads.
IMT (Iridium Certus 9704): up to 100 kB, double the speed, 83% lower idle power.

Here’s RockBLOCK 9704 in action. Full comparison: https://t.co/BpBmnH1jZU

GNSS jammed or spoofed? Your UAV, USV or autonomous system needs a backup it can trust.

RockBLOCK APNT brings Iridium PNT on board: a signal ~1,000x stronger than GNSS, encrypted and authenticated.
