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.
