Space Race: What matters in NTN IoT LoRaWAN
summary
Claims direct sensor-to-GEO-satellite LoRaWAN works at scale using EchoStar Mobile gear: Echostar 21 GEO covering Europe and another GEO over the US, FHSS on 2 GHz backhaul with a dual‑mode modem, patch antennas under €10, and an 18 m satellite receive dish doing the heavy lifting. Uplink power sits around 10–12 dB with SNR margin to −20 dB, capacity aims for millions of devices, and real deployments include an on‑device AI watchman, a Bluetooth SOS dongle that sends SMS, a satellite jacket, and relay firmware upgrades.
