BetterLiving devices communicate using LoRaWAN, a long-range, low-power wireless technology designed for remote monitoring. Devices send data to a BetterLiving gateway, which connects to the internet via your existing Wi-Fi network or a 4G connection.
Depending on terrain and installation, devices can communicate with the gateway from distances of more than 5 kilometres.

This makes Starlink an excellent option for properties without reliable broadband or cellular internet.
Yes. If your property does not have traditional internet or reliable cellular coverage, BetterLiving can be connected using Starlink. This allows the gateway to communicate with the cloud while your monitoring devices continue to communicate locally using LoRaWAN.
