Astrocast Astronode S+ Satellite Communication Device

Astrocast Astronode S+ Satellite Communication Device provides worldwide data communication over satellite with encrypted data communication, 2-level 256-bit AES, and L-band frequency. This device is based on the Astronode ecosystem, which includes an Astronode S communication module and an Astronode Patch Antenna. The Astronode S+ device connects via the full Astronode S digital interface or via RS232, both available on the industrial-grade board-to-cable connector. This ready-to-install satellite communication device supports low-power communication and low-power mode at 3.3V. The Astronode S+ device integrates new and retrofit applications in the field for bidirectional satellite communication. Typical applications include container tracking, fishing buoys, fuel management, precision farming, weather data, and flow monitoring.
