Kinéis uses satellite-based IoT connectivity for early forest fire detection | IoT Now News & Reports

Kinéis has announced that its spatial connectivity is helping to revolutionise forest fire prevention using early detection. NewSpace technologies and satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities are contributing to better prevention in detecting forest fires and reducing their impact on the environment. Kinéis global connectivity enables it to track and monitor objects in remote areas without coverage by terrestrial networks. In addition, frequencies used in the 400 MHz bandwidth have signal penetration in the canopy-covered environment.

The company used its expertise in the ARGOS system, founded by CNES (the French Space Agency) and historically operated by Collecte Localisation Satellites (CLS) to develop a reliable technology for providing easy access to useful satellite data. It locates and connects objects wherever they are on the planet, simplifying and multiplying their use by professionals and private individuals alike.

Using its constellation of 25 nanosatellites and 19 ground remote stations, Kinéis locates and connects objects through terminals, wherever they may be on the planet. Combining NewSpace’s technological innovation with IoT ensures narrowband, low consumption, and simple global connectivity. With their very low power consumption, the terminals can be autonomous for several years, sending messages only when necessary.
