Whether you are in energy, maritime, banking, retail, oil and gas, environment monitoring, or farming, having continuous access to an Internet of Things platform service is essential for your business.
But, what happens when your devices can no longer access a cellular connection? Terrestrial cellular networks now reach 90% of the world's population but cover only 15% of the earth's surface. So devices losing access to a reliable cellular connection is a genuine challenge for modern IoT applications.
*Soracom customers can now activate Skylo connectivity via their SIM/eSIM to switch seamlessly between cellular connectivity and NTN via the global 3GPP Release 17. This native support for a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) satellite messaging allows SMBs, SMEs and enterprise customers to manage satellite data connections and billing directly through the Soracom platform, whatever their use case.
Send IoT Data From M2M Devices Over A Satellite Connection
NTN typically comes with higher latency and base data cost compared to cellular. Fortunately, Soracom’s platform services let customers minimize the amount of data transmitted and handshake over the satellite link while maintaining integration with their cloud service of choice. This approach maximizes coverage, including satellite failover, while also integrating billing and connectivity management using the Soracom connectivity management portal.

View Satellite Connections Alongside Cellular, Wi-Fi, and LPWA
Transmit data from remote areas where there is no cellular IoT coverage available.
Manage devices connecting to your network over a blended mix of satellite cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Sigfox connections, all in a single cloud-based platform.
Access remote monitoring, asset tracking, and manage all of your connections and billing in one place.
Transmit Data from M2M Devices Over SatIoT Directly to Your Cloud Platform of Choice
Your hardware can send data using lightweight UDP protocols over the NTN satellite connection and the Soracom cloud-platform will transform the data into HTTPS and dynamically route your device data using secure TLS handshakes so it can be ingested by your preferred cloud service – including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure – without any relay server, SDK installation, or on-device credentials required.
