Toccata Announces Canaro, a Saskatchewan-Built Remote Monitoring Platform with Satellite Connectivity

Saskatoon company’s plug-and-play hub is the first in its class with built-in Wi-Fi, cellular and satellite failover; pre-orders open now, shipping late summer 2026

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toccata Inc., the Saskatchewan-based technology company behind the remote property monitoring product CabinPulse, today announced Canaro, its next-generation, enterprise-focused monitoring platform with unprecedented connectivity options.

Canaro is a first-in-class remote monitoring platform that supports sensor data transmission from almost anywhere. With built-in Wi-Fi, cellular and satellite connectivity, high-accuracy sensors built in, robust power management, and support for peripheral sensors and actuators up to 10 km away, Canaro is a general-purpose platform designed to solve almost any remote monitoring challenge.

“Canaro is the result of years of problem solving and working with customers with diverse monitoring needs,” said Noah Little, Founder of Toccata. “We’re confident that it will improve accessibility of remote monitoring to operators across industries.”

Three-tier connectivity, no configuration required
Canaro can work almost anywhere, staying connected via Wi-Fi, cellular and, in the most remote regions, satellite. If Wi-Fi drops, Canaro stays connected over cellular. If cellular drops, the Pro model falls back to satellite automatically, minimizing interruptions to monitoring. Canaro is among the first remote monitoring platforms to offer this kind of automatic three-tier connectivity failover in a single, plug-and-play package.

Designed for simplicity in deployment and use, Canaro requires no SIM cards, network configuration or technicians. Once the device is connected to power, it is live.

Powering Canaro’s connectivity is Toccata’s network partner, Montreal-based Terrestar Solutions Inc. As Canada’s only Canadian-controlled mobile satellite operator, Terrestar extends connectivity to areas beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. Through Terrestar’s Hybrid IoT solution, Canaro benefits from reliable terrestrial and satellite coverage across Canada, as well as global connectivity enabled by more than 500 terrestrial carrier partners and the Skylo satellite network.

“Terrestar is pleased to partner with Toccata on the upcoming Canaro platform,” said Stéphane Miljours, Director, Business Product – IoT at Terrestar Solutions. “From the start, Canaro represented the type of use case we envisioned for our Hybrid IoT solution. Together, we aim to help extend connectivity to more communities and remote areas across Canada.”

Built-in sensors and an on-platform AI layer
Canaro Hubs also feature a suite of built-in sensors, including ambient temperature, humidity, power, air quality, CO2, VOCs, vibration, tamper and noise. Having these common sensors built in vastly simplifies deployment for most customers.

One of the most significant new features launching with Canaro is Interlude, Toccata’s proprietary AI layer built directly into the platform. Interlude continuously analyzes incoming sensor data and flags patterns, anomalies and trends that a user might not catch on their own, and can perform data analytics and generate reports in response to plain-language requests. Interlude brings Canaro beyond data collection and alerts; it is an intelligent, context-aware layer that brings cutting-edge advances in AI to everyday operators.

“Interlude is the part of Canaro I’m most excited about,” said Little. “Alerts tell you something happened. Interlude tells you if something is about to happen, or points out something you might have missed entirely.”

Availability
Canaro devices are assembled in Saskatchewan and hubs will be available in two versions, Canaro Hub and Canaro Hub Pro. Canaro will be available to partners and the general public later this summer. Visit canaro.ca to learn more.
