REDUCE BANDWIDTH USAGE AND HEIGHTEN SECURITY ACROSS CONNECTED IOT DEVICES.

The patented data compaction software uses machine learning to seek patterns in IoT message payloads, compacting the data before transmitting it between devices. As a result, virtually no latency is added, no matter the device, protocol, or network. Once data is transmitted to its destination, it is rebuilt 100% losslessly.

Compaction uses machine learning to send small ‘codewords’ that represent larger patterns rather than sending the original source. This adds a critical layer of security without needing a separate encryption or decryption process.

The technology benefits IoT applications by significantly reducing airtime costs, while making satellite connectivity more viable and secure, all in a single, ultra-lightweight computing process.

Key benefits

  1. Improve affordability and scalability of satellite connectivity in cases that otherwise might be too costly
  2. Dramatically lower data transmitted, making it possible to transmit faster in real time
  3. Adds obfuscation to IoT messages for more robust security without increasing latency or file size
  4. Increase battery life of enabled IoT devices by upwards of 25-50%

How Compaction works

An illustration demonstrating the architecture of Compaction within a satellite IoT network. Individual customer circumstances may vary from what's shown.

Features

  • Solution agnostic and can be implemented on various technologies and devices
  • Compaction is lossless as the original data never leaves the source
  • Data moves as fast as generated; with microseconds latency, messages are translated into codewords and streamed in real time
  • Solution is near-universal, as Compaction works on any operating system, processor or protocol

User scenarios

  • It supports a broad range of use cases, applicable for those who transmit IoT data in real time, including customers working in agriculture, mining, transportation, telemetry, energy and more
  • Compaction software has been successfully tested and is viable for use in high-traffic, mission-critical environments 
  • Businesses previously unable to connect to IoT solutions due to a lack of coverage or cost now have more options available over satellite networks
