Situational awareness made simple with IoT Nano
Low data, non-IP messaging
IoT Nano delivers situational awareness and control to medium to large-scale deployments, supported by a versatile range of hardware options and Viasat’s ultra-reliable L-band network. It helps you to deploy IoT innovations that improve your efficiency, lower your operational costs, optimize your maintenance and cut your risk.
The service provides a proven, scalable and robust platform for data collection and control of assets in remote locations, capable of sending messages up to 1Mb in size. With a wide range of hardware, incorporating long-battery life, cellular and satellite switching, and even in-built solar power, you can trust IoT Nano to deliver situational awareness anywhere on the remote edge. IoT Nano also comes in module-form so it's easy to embed within proprietary hardware within your solutions.
Benefits
- Industry-leading, high-performance two-way messaging: from tiny events to images or small files (a few bytes to tens of KB).
- Easy to install: No technical expertise or training required.
- Highly predictable monthly operating costs: tailored to application needs.
- Pooled data packages: designed for IoT applications; allowing anomalies/alerts to be managed without bill shock.
- Easily integrated: Simple setup, integration, and maintenance in the field without specialist technical support.
Surprise-free service plans
IoT Nano provides highly predictable data use with minimal overheads. The service can pool data within each rate plan to minimize risk of extra costs from anomalies or events that occur on your remote assets in the field. So now you can monitor and manage without worrying about costly surprises.
You choose from a range of application-tailored or bulk purchase plans, which means you enjoy maximum IoT solution flexibility – scaling up as and when you need, from your early pilots through to full-on deployments. 
Robust adaptable terminals
Compact and rugged, the excellent range of IoT Nano terminals and hardware work with a wide variety of applications ranging from embedded modules for manufacturers to integrated IoT gateways with multi-mode communications.
So now you can deliver event-driven data and control for stationary or mobile remote assets at a budget-friendly cost.

Where IoT Nano makes a difference
IoT Nano is well-suited to low-bandwidth telemetry, tracking, compliance, safety and control applications. Some examples of how it can help your organization are:
- Agriculture: monitoring resources and machinery maintenance, including livestock monitoring, crop storage monitoring, and aquaculture management
- Aid & NGO: monitoring and automatic alert systems for worker health and safety
- Mining: asset tracking, as well as monitoring and control of remote industrial mechanisms
- Oil and gas: helping to ensure regulatory compliance (e.g. pipeline monitoring), boosting efficiency (e.g. artificial lift monitoring, wellhead monitoring)and improving worker safety
- Transport: fleet management, vessel monitoring, crew welfare, as well as helping provide sensor and telematics alerts
- Utilities: electrical grid monitoring, safety shut-offs, and intrusion detection
Features
- Low latency: typically under 15 seconds for small event messages. Larger files can be delivered at burst rates up to 16Kbps.
- Ultra-reliable network: Operating over our global L-band satellite network with up to 99.9% network availability.
- Versatile and robust device: Rugged, compact, energy efficient, programmable devices from multiple suppliers (OEM modules available for large-scale manufacturers).
