Remote LPWAN gateway with backhaul over a high-latency communication system

Abstract Some embodiments relate to methods and systems for a terrestrial data communication gateway device for satellite communication. An example gateway device has at least one processor and memory accessible to the at least one processor and is configured to perform a method comprising: operating a low power wide area network (LPWAN) wireless communication subsystem responsive to the at least one processor to allow wireless communication between the gateway device and the multiple remote devices; operating a satellite communication subsystem to allow high-latency wireless communication with at least one orbiting low earth orbit satellite; and operating the at least one processor to perform gateway server functions in relation to the multiple remote devices, wherein the server functions include executing multiple processing threads, the multiple processing threads including message processing threads to process messages communicated between the gateway device and the remote devices and communicated between the gateway device and the low earth orbit satellite.
