Topology
The PESSL LoRAIN Weather Station – or any LoRaWAN sensor – which has sensors attached (one or many) sits out in a remote area of your land. Every hour (or every 15 minutes) the device sends information to the MF-400 IoT Satellite Bridge housing including a MultiTech Conduit running MinFarm Client Software. This is sent over the LoRaWAN network. It passes the information to the Inmarsat IsatData Pro satellite terminal housed in the MF-400, up to the satellite in the sky, back down to a satellite receiving station, called the IDP gateway, which then passes it on to the MinFarm IoT-over-Satellite Platform, and then on to a mobile phone where users can view it using the FieldClimate application software.
