Kinéis uses satellite-based IoT connectivity for early forest fire detection | IoT Now News & Reports

French operator Kinéis announced that its spatial connectivity helps revolutionize forest fire prevention using early detection. New space technologies and satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities are contributing to better prevention in detecting forest fires and reducing their impact on the environment. Kinéis showcases this transformative application, which holds the potential to mitigate the devastating effects of wildfires globally.

Kinéis global connectivity enables it to track and monitor objects in remote areas without coverage by terrestrial networks. In addition, frequencies used in the 400 MHz bandwidth have signal penetration in the canopy-covered environment.

The operator used its expertise in the ARGOS system, founded by CNES (the French Space Agency) and historically operated by CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites) to develop a reliable technology providing easy access to useful satellite data. It locates and connects objects wherever they are on the planet, simplifying and multiplying their use by professionals and private individuals alike. In doing so, it deploys all its technological innovation capabilities to bring together new space and IoT.

How does Kinéis connectivity work?

Using its constellation of 25 nanosatellites and 19 ground remote stations, Kinéis locates and connects objects through terminals, wherever they may be on the planet. Combining NewSpace’s technological innovation with the IoT ensures narrowband, low consumption, and simple global connectivity.

With their very low power consumption, the terminals have an autonomy of several years, sending messages only when necessary.

Benefits of Kinéis connectivity:

  • Early fire detection
  • Reliable and low-consumption large-scale protection
  • Frequencies (400 Mhz) enabling penetration through canopies
  • Better risk prevention for emergency management in the event of natural disasters
  • Better assessment of the situation

During this year, Kinéis’ satellite solutions for the IoT were selected by the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion in future forest fire detection systems.
