As a design partner for Blues, we at Nano Electronic Services Ltd are keen to let customers know about their easy access solutions for enabling wireless communications.

Blues have created a range of off the shelf modular solutions making wireless connectivity easier and accessible to all.

With a range of modules supporting LoRa , Cellular and Wifi , they have the range covered, and have just announced their new StarNote module.

Starnote

Starnote is a cost-effective satellite module with bundled data and transparent pricing (no monthly active device fees, and no monthly minimum) that utilizes the same streamlined developer experience as the Notecard.

The Notecard is a wireless connected device offered in a full spectrum of radio access technologies. It captures product data and transmits it to a Notehub, which can then be sent to the cloud and packaged into valuable service offerings.

Starnote is deployed in combination with any Notecard, enabling you to embed dual connectivity with backup satellite communications into your new or existing solutions far faster and cheaper than other options on the market.

Key advantages include :

Fast-Track Your Time to Market – Pre-provisioned satellite connectivity, effortless data routing, low code technology, and unmatched JSON API reduce your time to market from years to months.

Harmonized Wireless Architecture – Unify your connected solutions across Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Satellite with minimal hardware or software design modifications when moving between them.

Integrated Data Package – Each Starnote device includes 18KB of data, which is enough to transmit a 50-byte message once a day for about a year, ensuring predictable hardware and service costs.

Backup Connectivity – Starnote works in partnership with any Cellular, Cell+WiFi, or WiFi Notecard to provide backup connectivity that automatically fails over when the Notecard’s network coverage is disrupted.

Cost-Effective Hardware – At just $49, Starnote is a cost-effective way to add backup satellite connectivity to your Notecard-based solution. No Per Device Subscription Fees… Ever , the only satellite offering without a monthly fee for each active device.
