Australian Startups Team Up for Satellite IOT Security Trials

Australian Internet of Things (IOT) startups Cog and Fleet have partnered to advance satellite-connected IOT device security. Fleet will use Cog’s D4 Secure platform on trial projects globally. Cog’s D4 Secure platform will be used during the trial to provide radio isolation, proactive kernel protection, and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnel for secure data transport.

“We were drawn to Cog’s D4 Secure platform because of its ability to use modularity to isolate critical functions on cutting-edge IOT devices like ours,” said Fleet CEO Flavia Tata Nardini.

Fleet’s technology focuses on satellite-enabled massive IOT devices for remote industrial agriculture, maritime logistics, mining and environmental applications, which traditionally operate in areas with no cellular or public Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) coverage.
