AeroAstro Inc., a Virginia-provider of small satellites and related technology products, has initiated its Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS) service, a data monitoring and asset tracking service.

Remote data transmitters and service are both immediately available.
AeroAstro says its SENS provides secure and reliable, real-time data transmissions from far-reaching locations, through the Internet to customers' operations centers. AeroAstro uses the existing Globalstar satellite constellation for SENS data relay, enabling seamless coverage for a price substantially lower than other currently available methods, according to the company.
The SENS system uses Code Phase Division Multiple Access (CPDMAT),
AeroAstro's patented spread spectrum technology, to enable access to remote sensor status information. Messages may either be sent at preset intervals or may be triggered by a specific event.
AeroAstro's SENS Transmitter (STx) unit is a pager-size, one-way data transmitter that can be integrated with virtually any analog or digital sensor, including GPS, for use in countless applications that require sensed status or location data to be sent from remote sites and mobile assets.
SENS uses the Globalstar constellation of low-orbit satellites to relay data from the STx units. As the only data transmitter to use this satellite constellation and CPDMA technology, AeroAstro's STx offers nationwide coverage, lower power consumption for longer battery life in untethered applications, and lower costs than any other data transmitter available -- even compared to ground-based systems that use cellular technology, the firm said.
