During the Futurecom 2026 conference in S\u00e3o Paulo, global connectivity provider floLIVE and non-terrestrial network (NTN) operator Skylo Technologies announced an integrated cellular and satellite IoT connectivity service across Brazil. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Distributed locally through Brazilian telecommunications partners iuh! Digital and NLT Telecom, the hybrid connectivity offering combines floLIVE\u2019s local cellular access and distributed core platform with Skylo\u2019s satellite NTN overlay to eliminate coverage gaps for industrial and enterprise IoT deployments.<\/p>\n

Technical Architecture and Single-SIM Fallback Specs<\/h3>\n

The integrated service utilizes 3GPP Release 17 standards, enabling standard 4G and 5G cellular IoT modems to establish satellite connectivity via software configuration without requiring dedicated satellite terminals or hardware design changes. Key technical specifications include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Single-SIM Multi-IMSI Architecture:<\/strong> Enables IoT hardware to operate on local Brazilian cellular networks for cost efficiency and automatically fall back to Skylo\u2019s satellite NTN when traveling beyond terrestrial coverage.<\/li>\n
  • Protocol Standardization:<\/strong> Operates using native 3GPP Rel-17 narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) waveforms, maintaining standard device battery life profiles and power budgets.<\/li>\n
  • Management Infrastructure:<\/strong> Managed via floLIVE\u2019s carrier-grade platform and distributed core network, providing unified device orchestration, billing, and real-time session tracking across approximately 214 global regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Context and Global NTN Alliances<\/h3>\n

    The Brazilian deployment expands Skylo\u2019s commercial strategy of partnering with global connectivity enablers to integrate satellite backup into terrestrial cellular networks. Skylo has previously executed similar hybrid NTN integrations across international markets, including Vodafone IoT\u2019s global hybrid satellite-cellular service and Blues\u2019 hybrid IoT module with seamless satellite failover.<\/p>\n

    By embedding NTN capability at the software and core network layer, telecommunications operators can extend network reach without building parallel satellite infrastructure.<\/p>\n

    Target Use Cases and Regional Market Outlook<\/h3>\n

    The hybrid service addresses connectivity challenges across Brazil\u2019s expansive geography, where agricultural operations, long-haul freight corridors, utility grids, and mining sites frequently extend beyond terrestrial cellular footprints. By offering continuous tracking and telemetry across urban centers and remote rural interiors, floLIVE and Skylo aim to accelerate IoT adoption across South America\u2019s largest enterprise logistics and agribusiness markets.<\/p>\n
