NTN for IoT: asset tracking, agriculture, environmental monitoring

Satellite IoT for Global Asset Visibility

The Internet of Things promises ubiquitous device connectivity, yet terrestrial IoT networks like LTE-M and NB-IoT cover less than twenty percent of the Earth surface. Satellite IoT bridges this gap by connecting sensors, trackers, and monitoring devices anywhere on the planet. Unlike broadband satellite services, IoT-NTN devices transmit tiny data payloads — typically a few bytes to a few kilobytes — at infrequent intervals. This relaxed throughput requirement allows extremely simple, low-power satellite terminals the size of a credit card powered by small batteries or solar cells that last…
