Totum Labs

Revolutionary wireless technology for low-cost, global, indoor tracking and monitoring of billions of assets.

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.

• 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.
