Modules
Satellite-based technologies are revolutionizing connectivity as the Internet of Things (IoT) expands into remote and underserved regions. Areas like offshore platforms and disaster zones, where traditional cellular networks often fall short, are now within reach. Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which offer low-latency, high-bandwidth links for IoT devices, drive this advancement.

Expanding Coverage with D2C and NTN
Innovations such as direct-to-cell (D2C) and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) are redefining global coverage and emergency response capabilities. D2C allows standard mobile devices to connect directly to satellites without specialized hardware. NTN integrates satellite and terrestrial networks to provide seamless, global 5G connectivity. Together, they support critical applications. Emergency alerts and remote monitoring are now possible in areas beyond cellular reach.
Satellite IoT in Remote Operations
Satellite-enabled IoT unlocks new capabilities across industries in previously unconnected environments. In logistics, satellite networks enable the real-time tracking of remote transit routes, enhancing visibility and reducing delays.
Agriculture utilizes NTN-connected IoT sensors for continuous monitoring, optimizing yields and resource usage. The infrastructure and energy sectors utilize satellite IoT for monitoring and predictive maintenance. This enables faster responses to anomalies.
Satellite connectivity is not just about extending coverage. It’s about enabling smarter, more efficient operations worldwide.
