"One of the key trends of the comms market over the past year has been the rapid spread of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), particularly around their usage within the internet of things (IoT). Now, research from satellite communications Viasat has found that providing ubiquitous direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity - such as from satellites - will enable the deployment of "game-changing" technologies across critical industries such as agriculture, mining and energy."
"The great connectivity convergence: NTN in industrial IoT study surveyed 600 IoT decision-makers from five major industries (agriculture, energy, transport and logistics, mining and utilities). It asked professionals about new D2D IoT devices, which enable organisations to track, monitor and control operations by sharing data over satellite and cellular without the need for existing, dedicated satellite terminals. Among the topline findings was that D2D is all set for mass adoption in industrial IoT within 18 months,"
Non-terrestrial networks and direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity are expanding rapidly within industrial IoT. Ubiquitous D2D connectivity enables deployment of transformative technologies across agriculture, mining, energy, transport and utilities. A survey of 600 IoT decision-makers across five industries shows 91% expect to adopt D2D within 18 months and 90% agree D2D will accelerate global IoT rollout. Terrestrial IoT users show strong near-term intent, with 32% planning adoption within six months while 81% expect feasibility after one to two years. Over two-thirds plan adoption within 12 months and 89% would consider replacing current IoT connectivity within two to three years.
