What is Satellite IoT?

Extend Coverage. Keep Operations Moving.

Many IoT systems depend on consistent connectivity—across agriculture, energy, maritime, environmental monitoring, logistics, and more.

But when devices move beyond terrestrial coverage, operations can lose visibility, automation breaks down, and field teams are forced into manual recovery workflows.

Soracom’s Satellite IoT Messaging Service—integrated with Skylo—adds non-terrestrial network (NTN) messaging to your connectivity strategy, so compatible devices can stay connected in places where cellular isn’t available. Soracom unifies provisioning, usage visibility, and billing for both satellite and cellular under the Soracom CMP, so partners and enterprise teams can deploy hybrid IoT solutions with less complexity.

Satellite IoT

Commercially Available NTN Messaging, Integrated with Soracom

Soracom’s NTN integration with Skylo is now generally available, enabling commercial deployment of hybrid IoT solutions across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Oceania.

Uses Standard Cellular Devices

Connect to Skylo’s NTN service via 3GPP-compliant NTN support—no special antennas or bespoke satellite modems required for compatible devices.

Full Soracom Platform Access

Satellite-connected devices can take advantage of Soracom platform capabilities, including cloud integrations, automation, private networking options, and AI-enhanced operational tools.

Blended IoT Connectivity

Manage Satellite and Cellular from a Single Pane of Glass

Operate hybrid connectivity without fragmented tools or separate billing systems.

Manage devices across satellite NTN messaging and terrestrial networks (cellular, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Sigfox) through one cloud-based platform—using the same workflows your team already uses for connectivity operations.

Partners can standardize deployment, support, and lifecycle operations across customers and regions while keeping visibility and control centralized in the Soracom CMP.

Cloud Integrations

Deliver Satellite Messaging Directly into Your Cloud Workflows

Bring satellite device data into your preferred cloud services—AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure—without a relay server, SDK installation, or on-device credentials required.

Combine NTN messaging with Soracom platform services to filter, route, enrich, and automate IoT data flows at scale.

Possible Applications

Satellite Messaging Use Cases

Soracom’s Satellite IoT Messaging Service supports low-data messaging use cases where devices operate beyond terrestrial coverage. It’s ideal for hybrid deployments that need continuity, visibility, and simpler operations across both satellite and cellular.

Track assets at sea, across remote land routes, or in isolated regions. When terrestrial networks aren’t available, NTN messaging helps maintain location updates and operational status.

Asset Tracking

Monitor environmental conditions, crop health, and livestock status across wide geographies, including areas where cellular coverage is limited or intermittent.

Smart Farming

Support remote infrastructure such as irrigation, water management, and other critical field systems with periodic messaging designed for low-data operations.

Remote Infrastructure

Build hybrid IoT solutions for custom deployments—utilities, wildfire detection, remote safety systems, and more. Let’s talk about your coverage and deployment requirements.
