IoT network will be first to offer commercial LoRaWAN® direct-to-satellite connectivity

TYSONS, VA. – March 9, 2021 – Omnispace, the company reinventing mobile communications, today announced an agreement with Lacuna Space to collaborate on the distribution of a ground-breaking internet of things (IoT) service.

The collaboration will enable the commercial launch of a first-of-its-kind, global, open standards-based IoT network. The service will employ the LoRaWAN® protocol to support direct-to-satellite communications for a broad range of IoT devices. The protocol will utilize the LR-FHSS technology -- specifically designed for high-capacity IoT networks -- with on- orbit operation validated by Lacuna through several years of non-geostationary satellite testing and optimization. Leveraging Omnispace’s licensed, 2GHz S-band spectrum rights, and integrating Omnispace and Lacuna infrastructure, the service will allow devices to connect seamlessly between existing terrestrial networks and previously un-connected regions around the globe.

As IoT devices like Amazon Echo become more and more popular, it isn’t unusual for users to re-sell them. Indeed, it’s increasingly common to come across them on eBay or even at the occasional yard sale. Amazon suggests that, when users are done with a product, they factory reset the device so as to erase any personal information stored within it before sending it back out into the world.

However, it would appear that simply resetting your device won’t actually expunge that data from the face of the Earth and that reselling your device could hypothetically lead to your old information getting boosted.

Researchers with Northeastern University recently spent 16 months buying and reverse engineering 86 used Amazon Echo Dot devices in an attempt to understand any security deficiencies they might have.
