Designed to save space, economize on power usage, and make your satellite IoT data transfer as cost-effective as possible, the RockREMOTE Mini provides networking and data transfer in a compact unit.

With its rugged, IP66 waterproof casing, versatile interface options, and underpinned by Iridium’s Certus 100 and IMT services, it gives you everything you need for global, midband data connectivity.

Resilient and Energy Saving

This device fits in where you need it to. Measuring 182mm x 74.5mm x 53mm, it’s smaller and lighter than other competitive satellite IP devices, and it will save you design space.

The key requirement for the Mini was to keep the power consumption very low. We are aiming for ‘best-in-class’ here, with less than 0.25W in receive mode. In addition to its optimized power consumption, it has two power supply options: a 10-30V supply, or power over ethernet (PoE). Enabling a piggy-back off existing power sources, reducing cabling.

With water resistant IP66 casing, it will happily withstand harsh weather conditions, temporary submersion in water, or the dirt and dust of outdoor or industrial environments. With multiple mounting options (including bulkhead or on a pole), it’s easy to use in both fixed or mobile settings. Ensuring your telemetry transfer or system failover anywhere across the globe.

Developer Friendly Integration

RockREMOTE Mini is fully integrated into Cloudloop, Ground Control’s Satellite IoT Platform, providing the tools and dashboards for full IoT system management and monitoring. Alternatively, utilize our API to design your own IoT data solution. We’ve completed the integration work to popular cloud providers including Azure and AWS, Google Storage, and delivery methods including HTTP Webhook, Email and MQTT.

Configuration of the device’s ethernet LAN and the WAN is accomplished via Bluetooth (BLE) using a companion app or developer API. Serial interfaces (RS232 or RS4xx), plus general purpose I/O give a broad range of connection options to sensors and actuators, enabling easy integration with existing infrastructure and satellite data connection without requiring significant modifications.

Take a look for yourself at our developer docs, example coding, BLE-configurable API framework and developer-friendly API.
