Why did mission 47 return early yesterday?
Pack B-27 hit 18% at minute 31 because of a strong headwind. The return-to-home rule worked as set.

Why MoonTower?
Named after Austin's moonlight towers
Since 1895, Austin's 165-foot moonlight towers have watched over the city from above. MoonTower does the same for your fleet: every device, seen and updated from one place.
Life with and without MoonTower

With MoonTower
Seeing the fleet
You guess how customers use the product and which firmware each unit runs.
Every device, its location, battery and version on one screen.
Finding problems
Customers report the bug. Diagnosis waits for a returned unit.
Faults trigger alerts and open a support ticket on their own.
Shipping fixes
Every update is a risk, and a bad one can mean a recall.
Staged releases, health checks and one-step rollback.
Adding AI
No safe way to put models on devices and watch them work.
Roll out models by group or mission and pull back anytime.

Managed
cloud storage, processing, security patches and updates handled for you
Ship firmware you can take back.
A small test group first, then region by region. If a device fails its health check, MoonTower pauses and puts it back on the last good version.

Customer story
How Gel Blaster launched Nexus in 200 locations
Nexus is a smart gel blaster system with blasters, LED vests, smart targets and game servers, all on batteries. Gel Blaster had to track, support and update every unit without stopping live games.
MoonTower ran regional firmware releases with test groups and rollback, sent battery and fault alerts to support automatically, and showed which game modes players liked most.

Questions buyers ask us
Something else on your mind? Ask us in the demo.
Do our devices need new hardware?
Often not. If MoonTower can talk to your device directly, nothing changes. If it can't, we add a small board with the right radio for your use case.
What happens when a device goes offline?
MoonTower is built for weak and patchy connections. Devices report again when they reconnect, and releases wait for them.
Who owns the data?
You do. You keep full ownership of your telemetry and device data, and MoonTower never sells or shares it.
How long until we are live?
About six months: roughly 90 days to scope and 90 days to integrate, then your team runs it with monthly check-ins.
How is it priced?
A yearly platform license plus a small per-device fee that drops as your fleet grows. We'll give you a quote for your fleet in the demo.
Can we use it while we are still building the product?
Yes. Teams use MoonTower during development to test prototypes, then keep the same setup when the product ships.
Named for the towers that light Austin
Our logo is a section of the iron truss from Austin's moonlight towers. Like them, MoonTower stands above everything and keeps it in view: devices on land, in the air and on the water.
MoonTower grew out of Guinn Partners, an Austin engineering firm with more than 40 engineers that has built hardware and software for over 30 mobility companies.
