Unitgate M2M Satallite Gateway

Our M2M gateway are build to facilitate easier service delivery for satellite M2M operators - it offer a long range of practically modules like M2M provisioning, M2M Remote Terminal Management, Data MQTT Broker, Data capture with Apache Cassandra, FTP/SFTP storange, Unity M2M API for remote integration, Data logger configurator, Satellite SMS Gateway, M2M Smart Billing, M2M dynamic Frontend envornment that allow operator to build dedicated GUI interfaces for their projects, and most important do Unitgate come with the satellite markets most open interface to allow existing M2M gateways to interact directly and display collected data and example could be Thingsboard.

Satellite MQTT Broker

MQTT protocol was developed back in time by IBM to monitor oil pipes over satellite connections - this protocol setup is extremly bandwidth efficient and very easy to implement. Almost all IoT being developped today do support MQTT and the range of standard products and gateways are very long so we have selected to make the main M2M connectivity open for MQTT.

The implemented Satellite MQTT broker is been added with security in mind and a username and password is needed to access the topics and messages across publish and subscribe - this associated MQTT provisioning is fully managed through our Unity API that allow user management and terminal management directly - MQTT identifier will be the terminal IMSI or serial number to make it easy and transparent in combination with assigned username and password.

Having the satellite M2M connectivity based on MQTT is bringing a long list of advantages - it is bandwidth efficient across expensive satellite connections, it is open and simple to integrate to, their is a comprehensive number of standard MQTT products on the market that easily integrate by subscribing or publishing to our MQTT broker, and example could be using IM`BM Red Node product for graphing and management, Thingsboard as already listed or one of the other hundreds of standard products.

We are offering our own super inexpensive M2M data module that can perform smaret data logging , smart remote monitoring and remote control, through output, input, temperature sensors or similar - a module that is super inexpensive and yet integrated with MQTT as well as the Satellite Terminals AT command set to offer the markets most inexpensive and at the same time most intelligent remote M2M module keeping connectivity cost as low as possible.

Inmarsat GX Gateway

Unitgate are today used to capture remote terminal data from all Inmarsat GX terminals across Maritime, Business Aero, Commercial Aero, Government, Enterprise and similar, Unitgate constantly monitor for active terminals and if active start graffig the 88 assurance metric from eacg single terminal ending up in many Gb of data daily - these captured data are added to Elasticsearch to offer fast search capability and to offer compressed data storage linked to this Big Data getting collected across terminal data like location, altitude, temperature and similar as well as data directly associated to the the many assigned data chanels on a given terminal, keeping track of MIR, CIR, Signal quality, trans mit error and much more.

Captured data can then be analysed or added to grafical display dashboards through Kibana or Grafane - we have also added a dedicated API interface that allow direct integration into own portal environments like example Honeywell Forge Portal, this API also allow our Unity frontend to directly show Assurance metric in nice grafs across QoS, Bandwidth, Traffic up/down, Location plotting, MIR/CIR plotting...

M2M Termninals and Firewall Setting

Where Unity POP environment or our POP Manager have been installed on the operators POP then can all M2M terminal firewalls directly be managed through the GUI, so where special ports is needed incoming or outgoing can this be fully managed and controled by operator as well as customers through their self care environment. When performing provisioning will the operator or partner need to select a firewall profile that handle the initial firewall provisioning - dedicated profiles can be made making this process more streamlined.

IP addresses can as well be managed directly - across a range of options static public/static private/static public/dynamic private/dynamic dedicated vpn IP groups and similar.
