Barcelona, 31-10, 2025 – Sateliot, the leading 5G IoT satellite constellation delivering standard NB-IoT connectivity from space, and Datakorum, a leading provider of end-to-end IoT solutions, have joined forces to enable reliable, seamless connectivity for smart metering devices deployed across the most remote areas of the United Arab Emirates’ oil, gas, and water pipeline infrastructure.
This strategic partnership integrates Sateliot’s pioneering satellite connectivity with Datakorum’s advanced IoT technology, setting a new benchmark for ubiquitous, high-performance industrial connectivity. The initiative marks a critical step forward in addressing the connectivity challenges of harsh and remote environments where traditional infrastructure falls short.
To kick off the collaboration, both companies are launching a Proof of Concept to validate the seamless integration of terrestrial and non-terrestrial 5G networks. This demonstration highlights consistent and resilient data transmission from remote locations, reinforcing the transformative role of satellite IoT in a region where the 5G IoT market is projected to reach $1.71 billion by 2030.
By leveraging Sateliot’s constellation, Datakorum enhances its “Connectivity as a Service” offering, effectively eliminating coverage gaps and unlocking the full potential of IoT for applications such as energy, water management, and smart infrastructure. This collaboration supports the UAE’s digital transformation strategy, and empowers more data-driven decision-making across sectors.
“We are excited to partner with Datakorum, a company that shares our commitment to pushing the boundaries of IoT,” said Gianluca Redolfi, CCO of Sateliot. “Our 5G NB-IoT satellite constellation is designed to catalyze global IoT adoption, and this collaboration exemplifies its transformative potential. The UAE is a key strategic market, and by joining forces with Datakorum, we are demonstrating how our technology delivers real value in one of the world’s most innovative regions. Together, we’re expanding the reach of IoT connectivity to support smarter and more resilient operations”
“Our alliance with Sateliot reinforces Datakorum’s vision of extending IoT beyond the limits of terrestrial networks, ensuring connectivity in the most critical environments,” said Rafael Martínez, R & D Manager of Datakorum. “By integrating non-terrestrial 5G into our solutions, we close the coverage gap in remote areas and empower organizations in the UAE to make data-driven decisions. This step strengthens the country’s digital transformation strategy and demonstrates how terrestrial 5G and satellite networks complement each other to unlock the full potential of IoT.”
