Totum Labs @ Nanosats Database

Name	Totum Labs
Constellations	IoT / M2M Small, low cost modules with embedded antennas and battery life of 10+ years. Commercializing Doppler Multichannel Spread Spectrum (DMSS) to enable tracking and monitoring of billions of assets. Status: Prototype development Constellation page at NewSpace Index
Country	US
Founded	2018
Funding	$15.2M
Oneliner	Revolutionary wireless technology for low-cost, global, indoor tracking and monitoring of billions of assets.
Description	Totum is developing the revolutionary communication system and chip level technology required for simple, global, outdoor and indoor low-cost connectivity that will allow Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connections to scale into the billions. The DMSS 3990 is a highly integrated Low Power Sensor to Satellite (LP-S2S) System on a Chip (SOC) ASIC that includes a DMSS modem, RF functionality, baseband and application CPUs, and provides for efficient integrated power regulation (for multi-year battery life) in a small/low cost package using the Global Foundries 22DFX process.
Notes	Totum announced the successful indoor operation of their direct-to-satellite IoT connectivity solution in 2021. Based on Totum’s groundbreaking wireless technology, which provides unprecedented reach from space, the demonstration showcased bidirectional communication between a fully integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC) and Totum’s low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite. The terrestrial endpoint was located in a San Diego office building, and in contrast to high-gain directional antennas typically required by satellite modems, the demonstration made use of a miniature omnidirectional antenna.
