Technical overview 

 
The MF 500 IoT Satellite Bridge provides network server connectivity for up to 100 remote LoRaWAN

™ 

sensors via Inmarsat IsatDataPro (IDP) satellite terminals and is designed to operate with 110 to 240 AC 
mains. 
 

The MF 500 runs an optimized protocol to ensure that airtime satellite costs per sensor are kept to a 
minimum. This makes the MF 500 IoT Satellite Bridge a standalone, low power, low cost solution for 

adding satellite connectivity to your existing COTS LoRa

WAN™ se

nsor devices.  

 
The MF 500 IoT Satellite Bridge supports LoRa

WAN™ version 1.0.2

. The MF 500 IoT Satellite Bridge is 

compatible with a very wide range of commercial off the shelf (COTS) LoRaWAN™ sensors.

 

 

Both the MF-200 LoRaWAN Gateway and the power supply are installed in IP67 rated CPN enclosures for 

harsh environments.
