LWiN®

Smart software for smarter satellite-connected devices

LWiN® (LoneWhisper® Intelligent Node) software is the brains behind every Lacuna-enabled node. It’s what makes our ultra-low-power, satellite-connected IoT possible.

Out of the Box: It Just Works

LWiN® is designed for simplicity and power efficiency — with default settings that work out of the box, no satellite expertise required.

  • Buffers messages from sensors
  • Waits for the next satellite pass
  • Sends the data — hands-free

Customise for Your Use Case

Want more control? LWiN® also includes a user application layer that lets you configure behaviour for your specific needs. Examples include:

  • Log hourly data from a water meter
  • Schedule high-frequency readings at night for say, one hour to check for hidden leaks
  • Compress all the data into one message, returned daily

And the best part? You don’t need to be a software expert to do this.

Built for Dual Connectivity

If you’re an IoT specialist, LWiN® will feel familiar. It includes the full functionality of a LoRa soft modem like LBM, but goes further. With LWiN®, your device can:

  • Communicate with terrestrial LoRa networks
  • Seamlessly switch to satellite uplinks via LoneWhisper®

Clean Architecture for Easy Development

LWiN® separates the complexity of satellite communication from the application you need to write:

  • Reusable applications (timing, sleep cycles, spectrum handling)
  • From a lightweight, user-editable layer

That means you can build smart, robust IoT solutions — without writing software from scratch.
