Long-Term Collaboration at the Core of High Technology – SATEL & SADE Innovations
SATEL is a global forerunner in radio technology, whose solutions secure mission-critical data communication even in the most demanding conditions. The company’s wireless data communications solutions are used globally in a wide range of industrial applications – from electricity distribution to windmills, from precision farming to port cranes, from weather stations to racing cars, and from real-time passenger information to surveillance systems. The application possibilities are virtually endless. SADE Innovations has had the privilege of supporting this development since 2022. At the heart of our collaboration have been Linux-based embedded systems, wireless connectivity solutions with cloud integration, as well as hardware and user interface design.


🚜 MCCU-30 – An Intelligent Router for Heavy-Duty Environments

One of the most impressive results of our joint efforts is the MCCU-30, a multi-band router designed for vehicles that acts as an intelligent hub for data transmission in heavy machinery. The MCCU-30 connects to systems in, for example, excavators, and enables external data communication via LTE, Wi-Fi, UHF, and Bluetooth technologies. Through GNSS RTK radio, highly accurate positioning data is made available for the machine’s control system, and the Azure-based SATEL Secure Remote (SSR) cloud service allows the devices to be controlled and monitored remotely. MCCU-30 enables real-time transmission of hydraulic data, fault codes, and location information to monitoring and analytics services. SADE has contributed to the development of MCCU-30’s Yocto Linux-based system, device state monitoring, message handling, and other software components. On the cloud connectivity side, SADE has participated in the design of communication interfaces and message validation, particularly in MQTT-based messaging.


🛠️ Broad Support Across Multiple Products

Our collaboration with SATEL has not been limited to the MCCU-30 project. We’ve also contributed to the mechanical design of earlier MCCU devices, to the development of the SATEL BT-RS232 adapter, which enables Bluetooth connectivity in devices that don’t include it by default (allowing them to be configured remotely like other SATEL products), and for remote configuration, SADE has developed mobile application software for SATEL. And that’s not all – several other, yet-to-be-announced products are also simmering under the surface. Stay tuned 😊


🤝 A Partnership Built on Trust

SATEL is renowned for the reliability, security, and scalability of its products. Working with SATEL demands high technical expertise and uncompromising quality. SADE Innovations has been proud to support this vision with our specialized skills in embedded systems, wireless communication, device software, and cloud integration.
Jussi Savolainen, SATEL’s Director of Product Development, sums it up: “SADE’s expertise in developing Linux-based systems has been valuable to us – as has their MQTT know-how and strength in cloud platforms and connecting devices to the cloud. A truly skilled team.”
Tero Nordström, CTO of SADE, adds: “It’s also been great to see that communicating with SATEL’s Azure-based cloud service has not caused us any issues in our projects, even though we typically build AWS-based solutions for our clients. In fact, working with Azure has been highly motivating for the SADE team! Whether it’s Azure or AWS, using well-defined interfaces guarantees reliable communication in any case. And working with SATEL is a pleasure all around – here at SADE Innovations, we’re so much hands-on people, that any chance to work with heavy machinery really energizes the whole team!” 🛠️💪😁
