Goanna Ag, a subsidiary of agricultural IoT company Discovery Ag, has partnered with satellite operator Myriota to develop a system to remotely manage and optimise water use on Australian farms. Goanna Ag says the system will use its sensors communicating over Myriota’s direct-to-orbit IoT satellite network to “unlock the power of remote monitoring at a price and […]
AWS providing global satellite links for Myriota
Australian IoT satellite operator Myriota has been named as one of the first customers of Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) AWS Ground Station, a service that enables satellites to be controlled from AWS and data from satellites to be downloaded into AWS Global Infrastructure Regions using a network of ground station antennas around the world. Other […]
Myriota picks Tyvak to build its satellites
Adelaide based nano-satellite company Myriota has named Californian company Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems as the developer of its planned satellites. Myriota was spun off from the University of South Australia in 2015 and initially used the satellites of its founding shareholder, ExactEarth of Canada, to provide its satellite capacity. In December 2018 it launched an experimental […]
Myriota & Davey Water offer smart tank monitoring
Adelaide-based Myriota, which is planning a network of nanosatellites for IoT applications, has teamed up with water pump maker Davey Water Products to offer AI based water tank monitoring for farmers. Myriota said the joint product would be the first mass market water-level sensor to be connected via its satellites and will assist farmers to […]
Myriota promises first real-time direct-to-orbit IoT
Adelaide based startup Myriota has become the third satellites-for-IoT operator in the past month to launch its first nanosatellites and is differentiating itself by claiming to be building the world’s first real-time, 24/7 direct-to-orbit IoT platform. Myriota’s first satellite, named Brio and built by SpaceQuest in the US, was launched on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. […]
Australian Institute of Marine Science takes Myriota IoT to sea
The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) has deployed satellite IoT transmitters from Australian startup Myriota on buoys to monitor ocean currents, sea surface water temperatures and barometric pressure. The Myriota sensors transmit around 160 bytes of data a day to AIMS’ data centre via low earth orbit (LEO) satellites operated by Myriota early investor, […]
Myriota promises satellite IoT from matchbox-sized device
Australian startup Myriota is commercialising technology developed at the University of South Australia designed to provide two-way communication via satellites for IoT applications from a device the size of a matchbox that will be able to run for several years on a battery. The company was spun off from the University in November 2015 with […]
