Vodafone IoT and Skylo bring NTN NB-IoT connectivity to global customers | Computer Weekly
"Skylo runs a global non-terrestrial network spanning 36 countries across 70 million square kilometres. Its network orchestrates across multiple constellations of satellites and integrates directly into existing chipsets, modules and operating systems. Skylo has certified modules from a global chipset and module ecosystem - serving as the foundation for a wide range of use cases. The operator also uses dedicated, licensed mobile satellite spectrum for connectivity, which avoids network interference with terrestrial signals and ensures ubiquitous coverage"
"Vodafone IoT has formed a partnership with Skylo Technologies to bring customers non-terrestrial network (NTN) narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) satellite connectivity services. Satellite IoT roaming capability is regarded as critical for IoT and has the potential for numerous applications across industries such as transportation, agriculture, maritime, environmental monitoring and asset tracking. In use cases such as agriculture, satellite IoT can be used to monitor cattle movements, crops, soil quality and meteorological conditions in remote areas where terrestrial connectivity is not typically needed."
Vodafone IoT partnered with Skylo Technologies to offer NB‑IoT satellite connectivity over non‑terrestrial networks (NTN), enabling IoT devices to roam via satellite. Satellite IoT roaming supports applications across transportation, agriculture, maritime, environmental monitoring and asset tracking, allowing monitoring of cattle, crops, soil, weather and real‑time condition tracking even at sea. Skylo operates a global NTN across 36 countries and 70 million square kilometres, orchestrating multiple satellite constellations and integrating with existing chipsets, modules and operating systems. Skylo certifies modules from a chipset and module ecosystem and uses dedicated licensed mobile satellite spectrum to avoid terrestrial interference and ensure ubiquitous rural coverage. Verizon launched commercial supplemental smartphone connectivity on Skylo in September 2024. Skylo and Vodafone IoT will trial the technology in an initial phase.
