Vodafone IoT<\/strong> has announced a new partnership with Skylo Technologies to bring customers Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) satellite connectivity services. In the initial phase, the two companies will work together to trial the technology with a view to offering a full commercial service in the near future. Skylo runs a global Non-Terrestrial Network spanning 36 countries across 70 million square kilometres of coverage.<\/p>\n

Together, the companies will provide even greater coverage for Vodafone IoT\u2019s customers and unlock new opportunities for businesses by providing an overlay solution to existing cellular connectivity for IoT devices. This collaboration underscores customers\u2019 growing demand for seamless, scalable and secure connectivity.<\/p>\n

Skylo and Vodafone IoT\u2019s network cores will integrate \u2013 enabling customers to seamlessly switch between cellular and NTN connectivity from a single Vodafone SIM. With sectors such as asset tracking and energy services to environmental monitoring and fleet management set to benefit, this new hybrid connectivity model will supply industries with seamless multi-national connectivity. Furthermore, customers will be able to continue managing their IoT estates using Vodafone IoT\u2019s Managed Connectivity Platform \u2013 for both their cellular and NTN connectivity needs. <\/p>\n

Skylo\u2019s network orchestrates across multiple constellations of satellites, and integrates directly into existing chipsets, modules, and operating systems. Skylo has certified modules from a robust global chipset and module ecosystem \u2013 serving as the foundation for a wide range of use cases. <\/p>\n

<\/strong>Erik Brenneis<\/strong>, CEO of Vodafone IoT,<\/strong> said: \u201cAs we continue our mission to provide our customers with truly global IoT connectivity, today marks another significant step forwards. Our new partnership with Skylo will help us deliver ubiquitous connectivity for our customers and make a step-change in network access, reliability and resilience which together will enable the next wave of innovative IoT solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Parthsarathi Trivedi<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Skylo,<\/strong> said: “This trial is a critical step in bringing our 3GPP-compliant satellite connectivity to Vodafone\u2019s IoT ecosystem. We are demonstrating how Skylo\u2019s network can seamlessly extend Vodafone IoT\u2019s reach into the most remote areas, adding millions of square kilometers of coverage. It\u2019s about proving that ‘anywhere connectivity’ <\/em>is no longer a future concept \u2013 it\u2019s here, it\u2019s standards-based, and it\u2019s ready for global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
