EchoStar Interoperability Relay Program (EIRP)

We’re pleased to announce the launch of our EchoStar Interoperability Relay Program – a groundbreaking initiative for testing and advancing our EM-SR, the first and only LoRaWAN® Satellite Relay device of its kind. We’re offering a unique opportunity to participate in the testing of our S-band LoRaWAN® Satellite Relay (EM-SR) device!

What Makes EM-SR Unique?

The EM-SR is designed to work in areas without a direct sky view, enabling end-nodes to connect to satellite. This solution provides connectivity without barriers, perfect for remote and hard-to-reach locations.

Who Are We Looking For?

We’re inviting device manufacturers, OEMs, system integrators or other relevant partners interested in testing our device for their use case free of charge.

EIRP program objectives

• Ensuring the interoperability of terrestrial end-nodes with EchoStar EM-SR relay device and its satellite connectivity
• Scaling up the adoption of the LoRa Alliance® relay specifications
• Building and operating turnkey solutions

Use cases we’re exploring include:

• Environmental Awareness
• Critical and Linear Infrastructure
• Sensors Aggregation
• Smart Metering
• Precision Agriculture
• Other Remote Monitoring Applications

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of an exclusive program pushing progress in the future of continuous, barrier-free connectivity.

The program will operate as follows

• Access to the EIRP is free of charge and open to EchoStar Mobile VARs/Partners, device manufacturers, OEMs, system integrators, and any other applicants
• Applicants who wish to participate are invited to submit their application via the e-form available below
• The program will be active for six months starting from 1st April 2025
• Submitting the application implies acceptance of all terms and conditions set out in the program documents
• Applicants will be informed of the outcome of the selection procedure by email. The notification will be sent to the email address provided in the application form. The same email address will be used by EchoStar Mobile for all other communications with the participants
