Sentinel.
One rugged core.
Many jobs.
Sentinel watches and controls the things that keep a remote operation running: pumps, tanks, generators, machinery, vehicles and the people who work alone. It tells you the moment something is wrong or goes quiet, and lets you switch equipment from your phone, even with no phone coverage. Every unit is built on one rugged core and reports into Fusion Cloud.
The third step in our hardware
We started with Starlink power boosters, then built Fusion, our smart range that powers and monitors Starlink, and Fusion grew into Sentinel. Fusion is now the name of our cloud platform, Fusion Cloud, and Sentinel is the name of all our electronics.
Two kinds of Sentinel
High power
High-power Sentinel gateways power and monitor Starlink in vehicles and at fixed sites on 12 and 24 volt systems.
Low power
Low-power Sentinel devices do the monitoring and control without powering a dish, and can run on a coin battery. For scale, a Starlink Mini uses about 50 amp hours a day.
The Sentinel families
Pulse
Pumps, pivots, tanks, troughs, fences and generators.
Plant
Machinery engine hours, utilisation, location and theft.
Fleet
Road vehicle tracking and trip logs.
Personal
Lone-worker man-down, duress, check-ins and GPS.
Overboard
Raises the alarm when a crew member and the boat separate.
What every Sentinel has
- Long-range LoRa mesh radio. Devices hop data node to node, so range grows as you add units.
- Connection direct to LEO satellite, with Starlink optional.
- A battery in every unit, so it keeps reporting through a power cut.
- No alarm settings on the device. Every alarm is set in Fusion Cloud, so thresholds change remotely, and Fusion Cloud alarms when a device goes silent.
- Monitoring and control. The same device that reports on a pump, valve or gate can switch it.
What Sentinel does
Written once, used across every industry it fits.
Pump monitoring and control
Know a remote pump is running, and start or stop it, without driving out to check. Sentinel reports pump state, alarms on a fault or when the pump goes quiet, and the same device switches it on and off.
Used in: Agriculture, Mining, Government and utilities
Centre pivot monitoring
See where a pivot is and whether it is moving and watering as it should. Sentinel tracks position and water pressure along the span, and Fusion Cloud alarms when a pivot stalls or pressure drops.
Used in: Agriculture
Tank and trough levels
Check water levels on every tank and trough from your phone instead of doing the run, with an alarm before stock run dry.
Used in: Agriculture, Government and utilities
Irrigation channel gates
Monitor water levels in channels and open or close the gates you already have, remotely. Built to retrofit existing gates rather than replace the whole system.
Used in: Agriculture
Electric fence monitoring
Get told when a fence stops working, not when the stock are out. Sentinel logs fence strength over time, so a weakening line shows up before it fails.
Used in: Agriculture
Generator monitoring
Know a generator is running, how it is going and when it stops, wherever it is. Run hours and alarms land in Fusion Cloud, and it can be started or stopped remotely where the set allows.
Used in: Agriculture, Mining, Industrial, Government and utilities
Condition monitoring
Catch a failing bearing, pump or motor before it breaks. Sentinel watches temperature, vibration and sound on any machine with a bearing, learns what normal looks like for that machine, and alarms when it drifts.
Used in: Mining, Industrial, Agriculture, Government and utilities
Plant and machinery
Real engine hours so servicing falls due on actual use, plus utilisation, location and theft alerts for tractors, headers, loaders and other machinery.
Used in: Agriculture, Mining, Industrial
Fleet tracking
Location, trips and usage logs for utes, trucks and light vehicles, with a path to servicing on real use.
Used in: Industrial, Mining, Government and utilities, Agriculture
Trailers and equipment
Know where trailers and towed equipment are, whether they have moved, and the state of their batteries, for farms, trades and hire fleets.
Used in: Industrial, Agriculture, Recreation
Caravans and camper trailers
Security, breakaway battery monitoring, tracking, and relay of your onboard battery, solar and fridge readings over satellite when you are out of coverage.
Used in: Recreation
Lone-worker safety
Man-down, duress button, check-in timers and GPS, so someone working alone can get help sent to where they are.
Used in: Mining, Government and utilities, Agriculture, Industrial
Man overboard
Crew wear a tag, and the boat raises the alarm when a crew member and the vessel separate, with the location to find them.
Used in: Marine
Starlink power and monitoring
A high-power Sentinel gateway powers Starlink in vehicles and at fixed sites on 12 and 24 volt systems, and reports its health to Fusion Cloud.
Used in: Agriculture, Mining, Industrial, Recreation, Government and utilities, Marine
Remote site connectivity
One gateway that switches automatically between LoRa, on-site Wi-Fi, Starlink and 4G, and connects direct to LEO satellite, so data gets out from sites with no phone coverage.
Used in: Agriculture, Mining, Industrial, Recreation, Government and utilities, Marine

Is Sentinel available now?
Sentinel is in productisation and pilots, and we are taking on pilot customers and resellers.
Does it replace my Fusion booster?
Fusion was the step before Sentinel, and the Fusion smart power range is still sold through our store.
Why is there a battery in every unit?
So it keeps reporting and can tell you the power has gone, rather than just going quiet.
Why are the alarms in the cloud and not on the device?
So thresholds can be changed per machine from anywhere, and so a device that stops reporting raises an alarm too.

What to confirm for your site
These capabilities are being productised and piloted. A site assessment confirms the supported setup before deployment.
Radio coverage
Terrain, obstructions, antennas and gateway placement affect LoRa coverage. No universal distance is specified here; agree a coverage test for your site.
Satellite and mobile service
LoRa carries local device data. A gateway needs a supported onward connection for remote cloud access. Confirm satellite service, network availability and the supported gateway configuration.
Power and reporting
Battery duration and alarm delivery depend on the device, reporting interval, power system and connection. Confirm the required runtime and reporting behaviour in the pilot scope.
Compatibility and pricing
Confirm sensors, switching outputs, equipment interfaces, installation and service costs with us. This website does not publish a universal compatibility list or Sentinel price list.
