Call of wild: extending terrestrial IoT networks
summary
Lacuna’s lone whisper satellite IoT system claims 20× higher throughput versus first generation by switching to LR‑FHSS and spectrum‑use refinements and reports four million packets delivered overall. Six new satellites launch this year bringing 16 payloads and global coverage with four contacts a day and ~24‑hour delivery. Field builds include a river nutrient monitoring deployment that works where cellular and LoRa failed and a banana leaf humidity/temperature sensor network feeding AI. A payload sharing framework lets other operators fly compatible payloads and use the constellation from day one.
