The world’s first airborne IoT network
Unilode Aviation Solutions and On Asset Intelligence have announced a massive network upgrade that now includes in-flight tracking capabilities. Unilode owns and operates the world’s largest digitally enabled ULD fleet, over 120,000 digital ULDs strong and growing.
It is built upon a global network of On Asset’s Sentry IoT gateways installed at airports, repair stations, freight forwarder warehouses and trucks. Now it will be the world’s first IoT network to be extended to the aircraft itself.
The Sentry 600 IoT gateway comprises Bluetooth, cellular, Wi-Fi and lo-ra connectivity, combined with GPS, a full sensor suite and an e-paper screen and keypad. The device has been designed to capture tens of thousands of sensor tags in a single scan cycle. (cj)
