ORBCOMM launched OGx, its next-generation satellite Internet of Things (IoT) service featuring innovative network capabilities and flexible pricing.
“OGx combines innovation with affordability to deliver a state-of-the-art IoT service, further enhancing our ability to provide efficient connectivity and secure data flow throughout our IoT network infrastructure,” says Dave Roscoe, ORBCOMM’s EVP and general manager. “OGx embodies our mission by empowering systems integrators and IoT solution providers to develop IoT applications that help their customers improve productivity, reduce waste and increase sustainability.”
Key takeaways:
- This network rollout will help enable IoT solutions to either match traditional performance at lower costs or exceed it at the same cost.
- OGx enables IoT solution providers to bring IoT solutions to market across low-, medium- and high-data usage applications in agriculture, heavy equipment, maritime, mining, oil and gas, transportation, utilities and more. Applications range from optimizing agricultural production and enhancing cargo safety to helping ensure responsible fishing practices and reducing the environmental impact of resource extraction.
- The OGx network’s unique design can help considerably reduce the power consumption of terminals compared to those on the IDP network. The power savings help solution providers reduce hardware costs—by using smaller batteries, solar panels, power supplies and enclosures—or increase message frequencies and reduce latencies using the same hardware.
