What does the data collection end of this look like? In a home IOT setup, for example, you'd typically have a single machine (Border Router in a Thread setup) collecting all the data from each node.
I understand the "field device" -> "satellite" uplink step. But, what's the next step? Another device just for downlink data would eat through the data cap in no time.
- googlryas 4y agoYou get a REST API to to query to get your data. Eg GET api.swarm.space/devices/$id/recent
- jcims 4y agoLooks like they have a SaaS product called Hive to poll/push data from devices to your application. I don't see any indication of point to point message passing capability but it may exist.

- initplus 4y agoDownlink is internal to the sat provider, and will just send messages on to you over the ordinary internet.
