Skyhawk PRIoT Connectivity Platform

Powering a new class of IoT monitoring

The Skyhawk PRIoT platform provides a complete solution for IoT design engineers who want to combine the reliability of Verizon’s LTE CAT-M1 connectivity with the drop-in portability of battery-powered gateways.

The platform combines long-life battery-powered gateways, high power sub-GHz sensor communications and a purpose-built cloud and mobile applications framework.

Offering portability, reliability and customizability, the PRIoT platform will increase the value and utility of your existing IoT solutions and enable entirely new IoT applications that powered gateways could never do.

No external power? No problem.

The requirement for IoT gateways to be plugged in has limited the growth of IoT. Many locations don’t have power, and in some places where there is power, it’s not in the best spot for RF connections to hundreds of remote sensors. The challenge has been the high power requirements of sub‑GHz RF communications.

Skyhawk has solved this problem with proprietary wake-on-radio circuitry and power management algorithms. Our gateways operate on an average of less than 1mW of power – 1/1000^th the power draw of most other sub‑GHz gateways.

The result? A drop-in IoT gateway you can place anywhere there is cellular signal, in whatever location is best for connecting to sensors.

Always on. Always connected.

Because they consume so little power, Skyhawk PRIoT gateways can monitor hundreds of sensors for more than two years on three AA batteries. Need 10 years? Add more batteries to your design.

And Skyhawk’s cellular cloud eliminates the need for WiFi or Ethernet, utilizing Verizon’s LTE CAT-M1, which has the best coverage in the United States.

A complete and customizable IoT solution

The PRIoT platform is available as PCB modules, as packaged white-labeled products, or as a turnkey customized solution. We provide an array of the most useful sensor types, or you can integrate the PRIoT sensor communications modules with any alert or polling sensors.

All Skyhawk PRIoT solutions come with a license for the Skyhawk mobile and cloud software stack. You’ll get dashboards to control your devices, monitor their status, track their location and broadcast alerts, along with data pipelines, license management and billing. Use as is or add your own features.
