Starnote for Skylo

Streamlined Satellite Connectivity for only $54

Requires a companion Notecard to transmit

The Future of Satellite IIoT

Starnote for Skylo is a cost-effective satellite module with bundled data and transparent pricing (no monthly active device fees, and no monthly minimum) that utilizes the same streamlined developer experience as Notecard.

Notecard is a wireless connected device offered in a full spectrum of radio access technologies. It captures product data and transmits it to Notehub, which can then be sent to the cloud and packaged into valuable service offerings.

Starnote for Skylo is deployed in combination with any Notecard, enabling you to embed dual connectivity with backup satellite communications into your new or existing solutions far faster and cheaper than other options on the market.

The First Fully Harmonized Wireless Ecosystem

Wireless connectivity doesn’t have to be a 1-way door.

At Blues, we believe that connected product developers should have the freedom to move between any radio access technology at any point in the product lifecycle.

With the launch of Starnote for Skylo, we’ve accomplished just that.

We’ve built the first harmonized wireless ecosystem that covers all 4 major radio access technologies, from cellular to WiFi, LoRa, and Satellite —all that utilize the same set of APIs, hardware design, and software architecture.
