I can't get to their documentation but it looks like it's using LoRa for the RF. https://blog.semtech.com/satellite-iot-qa-with-swarm https://blog.semtech.com/

Pretty cool. Just checked coverage over my house using their pass checker and it's already ~50% coverage through the course of the day. No good for realtime alerting but good enough for daily reporting.
- googlryas 4y agoYep, it seems like you get a transmit window every ~2 hours max. All in all this service is much more reasonable(cost/antenna size/transmit rate/power) than I expected. You can basically send 2kb/day from a large chunk of the world(with a view of the sky) for $5/mo. Somehow even cheaper than m2m cell plans I've encountered, though granted I haven't looked at services in the past few years.
