About PolyNet
PolyNet is an open platform for LoRa-based satellite packet receiving and transmission. It is designed to support researchers and IoT enthusiasts in exploring sat-IoT technologies.
What is PolyNet?
PolyNet is a community that enables the reception of open satellite signals. Signals are received with stations built by the users themselves. The stations connect to a central server that collects the data and compares it with those received by other users to consolidate them, as the same transmission is usually received by multiple stations. The received data is displayed on the website, associated with the stations that received them.
Our mission is to promote the safety of space flights, the protection of the space environment, and the peaceful use of space globally by sharing space situational awareness information and telemetry with satellite owners/operators, academic institutions, and other entities.
