Purpose-Built Technology for Real-World IoT
Blink Astro® develops an ecosystem of low-power ground units, satellite receivers, and LEO platforms designed to move small data packets from remote sensors to the cloud.
Sensors
Smarter Data Starts on the Ground
Low-power sensors that send small data packets through daily satellite links, supporting both waterway and agricultural monitoring.
Small Sensor. Big Reach.
AquaBlinkR™ is a rugged, low-power sensor built for long-term waterway monitoring. It records GPS position and water temperature, then sends condensed data bursts during daily satellite passes using its battery-saving HyperSleep™ mode. Future product releases will include additional environmental measurements such as salinity and atmospheric pressure.

AgriBlinkR™
Smart Sensor for Connected Agriculture
AgriBlinkR™ brings low-power, satellite-linked monitoring to fields, reservoirs, and irrigation systems. It delivers lightweight environmental updates during scheduled connection windows, helping growers track conditions and manage resources more efficiently.
Satellites
Global Coverage Starts in Space
Blink Astro’s satellite systems capture low-power transmissions from remote sensors during daily passes.
BlinkSat Radio™ and PanelSat™ form a compact, efficient ground-to-orbit link for small data packets in hard-to-reach locations.
BlinkSat Radio™
Reliable Uplink for Remote Sensors
Blink Radio™ is the low-power receiver mounted on each PanelSat, tuned to hear small data bursts from field sensors during satellite passes. It captures these brief transmissions and routes them through the Blink® network, creating a dependable uplink path for devices operating far beyond terrestrial coverage.
