System Overview

The SENS Data Service uses AeroAstro's patented spread spectrum technology, CPDMA™, which is optimized to enable the reliable receipt of large numbers of simultaneous transmissions from multiple users in a distributed sensor network. The system consists of a field device containing a modem, the satellite relay system, a SENS Appliqué (network data processing equipment), and the AssetView data portal and data analysis tool.

A Simplex (1-way) message containing GPS location and sensor data is sent from a field device to the low-earth orbit satellite network.

The field device sends multiple messages to increase reliability of message receipt to 99.99% or higher with correct installation in the coverage area..

The "bent-pipe" satellite relays messages to a ground station equipped with AeroAstro's SENS data decoder.

Redundant messages are filtered and the customer only pays for the first message received.

The message is decoded and forwarded to the AssetView data portal.

Message data is available to the end user via the Internet, voice, email, or text.

AeroAstro created the system and provides every part of the solution to ensure uninterrupted service.
