Technology
The hiSky solution is an innovative satellite communications network that enables robust, low-cost satellite services for a large number of users throughout the globe.
The system is comprised of satellite terminals and hub base stations, a mobile application and application servers. The satellite (SAT) network is designed to provide low data rate communication services. The network operates via GEO satellites in the Ka band.
The hiSky communication network comprises two main components: a Smartellite™ user terminal, and the network operating center, which connects to the hub base station; providing users with management and control of terminals.
The Smartellite™ terminals are light, small devices which maintain a link with the hub base station and are connected to the user’s device using a local wireless connection. The link established between the Smartellite™ terminal and the hub base station, enables the sending and receiving of compressed calls, text messages and low data rate services (IoT) between the user’s device and the cloud-based hiSky servers.
GEO2LEO
LEO (Low earth orbit) satellites orbit between 500 to 2000KM above the earth’s surface. hiSky’s technology and the Smartellite™ Family of products allow you to transmit and receive voice and data from both GEO and LEO satellites in the Ka band.
Our Smartellite™ terminals are designed to meet the extremely high speeds of LEO satellites, and to perform quick handover between GEO and LEO satellites, without losing connectivity. Using LEO satellites, we are able to provide high data rates, while using small terminals that are both reliable and affordable.
hiSky 360
Network Management System
hiSky developed it’s own unique network management system (NMS) with a network operation center and a 24/7 hour help desk.
hiSky 360 is active 24/7 and has an operations portal which allows interface through which authorized subscribers or re-sellers can monitor and administer the hiSky platform and its components. It provides the capability to flexibly filter elements as well as group them by devices deployed with a specific satellite provider, device type, firmware version, etc. The operations portal provides the link between platform resources and subscribers enabling impact analysis of ongoing operations and planned maintenance.
The Smartellite™ Family is a unique line of products of satellite terminals that uses the most advanced technology, and smart engineering to connect you to satellites in the Geosphere and LEO Constellation.
It allows you to communicate with anyone in the world, regardless of where you are, easily and at affordable rates.
Created by experts in satellite communication, radio frequency and network design, hiSky’s Smartellite™ terminals are designed for ease of use by individuals and complete management and control by enterprises. With a seamless connection via a dedicated app to any mobile device, users and organizations are now free to communicate anywhere, anytime.
Providing solutions for every situation and industry need, our range of products are suited for use by lone travelers through the savannas of Africa, large multi-user corporations, and multi-national organizations with various IoT needs throughout the world.
Each product in the Smartellite™ range leverages new High Throughput Satellites to ensure greater spectrum availability. Use of these satellites alongside an advanced network configuration enables hiSky to provide affordable satellite communication services.
The Smartellite™ family of products connects to your Android / iOS using WiFi, BLE and/or wire.
For IoT / M2M use, the terminals interface with WiFi, BLE, LoRa, wire and PoE (Power over Ethernet).
