Arctic sensor networks

Connecting the Unreachable

We connect remote sensors through a self-healing radio mesh, so a whole field site shares one uplink instead of a satellite link at every station.

Tested to -40°C, with over 98% of packets delivered.

The problem

A sensor dies in October. You find out in June.

Arctic stations sit unattended for a season. When a logger fails, nothing reports it, and the gap in the record cannot be recovered.

Getting data home is priced per station, so instrumenting a site densely costs more than the field budget allows.

About us

What we built

One uplink serves the site. Adding the twentieth sensor costs a sensor, not another satellite subscription.

The mesh finds another path and the site keeps reporting.

Radio, power and timing were designed around the temperature, then tested at it.

Where we are

We tested the node to -40°C in a climate chamber at DTU. We have not deployed in the field yet. First deployment is planned for summer 2027.

In a climate chamber at DTU: tested to minus 40 degrees Celsius
Packets acknowledged at -40°C: over 98 percent of about 19,600 packets acknowledged at minus 40 degrees Celsius
Area one network is designed to cover target: about 31,000 square kilometres, a V2 design target
