Bridging the Connectivity Gap
In today’s connected world, over 2.6 billion people remain offline, with rural and remote regions lacking the reliable internet access that fuels innovation and growth. This digital divide doesn’t just limit people—it also slows the adoption of transformative IoT solutions that could revolutionize industries, boost productivity, and enhance quality of life.
That’s where Sateliot comes in. We’re rewriting the connectivity narrative by delivering satellite IoT solutions that go where traditional networks can’t. With agreements to connect over 9 million IoT devices, we’re not just catching up; we’re doubling the satellite IoT market, which stood at 5 million devices in 2021. The future of connectivity starts here.

Urban vs. Rural: A Tale of Two IoT Worlds
Cities: The IoT Pioneers
Urban environments are thriving IoT innovation hubs. With robust cellular networks, cities power billions of devices, from smart home systems to connected vehicles. Globally, there are 15.9 billion IoT devices, most of them concentrated in areas with strong cellular infrastructure. These devices drive efficiency, convenience, and automation in ways that were once unimaginable.
Rural Areas: The Untapped Frontier
Rural and remote regions face a very different reality. Rugged terrains, isolated communities, and low population densities make traditional network deployment impractical and costly. But here’s the exciting part—these areas are ripe with potential. Industries like agriculture, logistics, energy, and environmental conservation are ready for transformation, and Sateliot’s satellite IoT network is unlocking that potential.
Driving Innovation Across Key Industries
Agriculture:
Farmers can use smart sensors to monitor soil conditions, optimize water use, and predict weather patterns, driving sustainability and improving crop yields.Logistics:
From tracking cargo ships to monitoring remote supply chains, satellite IoT ensures goods are delivered efficiently and reliably, no matter where they are.Energy:
Renewable energy installations like wind turbines and solar farms can now be connected and monitored in real time, even in the most isolated locations.Environmental Monitoring:
Collect critical data on wildlife, ecosystems, and climate conditions to protect biodiversity and combat climate change.

Still some questions?
What’s the difference between LEO and GEO Satellites?
Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites are way closer to the earth, 550km instead of 35.000 km from the surface this means that it takes less energy and time for the IoT devices to connect to LEO satellites. Smaller distances allow IoT devices to use the same power profile, NB1, defined for NB-IoT in 3GPP Release 13. Moreover, they don’t need a clear open sky to work, since LEO satellites’ orbits are not steady like GEO, they orbit Earth always getting new connectivity angles.
With LEO, it is also possible to benefit from the New Space paradigm. Using CubeSats in LEO, the cost of building and launching a satellite is greatly reduced, resulting in a much more competitive service cost.
Why is Narrowband Perfect for IoT?
Narrowband is ideal for IoT due to its efficient spectrum use, long-range capabilities, low power consumption, reduced interference, and cost-effectiveness. These characteristics make narrowband suitable for the widespread deployment of IoT devices, enabling reliable communication in diverse environments while optimizing resources and minimizing operational costs. Broadband, on the other hand, offers higher data rates, making it more suitable for applications that require intensive data transfer, such as high-definition video streaming for example. Broadband often comes with increased power requirements and potential interference challenges, making it less optimal for scenarios where long-range coverage, energy efficiency, and cost considerations are prioritized, as in many IoT deployments.
What’s the relationship with 3GPP?
3GPP stands for 3rd Generation Partnership Project, it’s a collaborative project between a group of telecommunications organizations, it develops and defines standards and protocols for mobile telecommunications. Sateliot has made the most contributions to Release 17 within the 3GPP from a satellite operator perspective, contributions that were unanimously accepted by all the members.
The new Satellite Standard Vs Proprietary protocols
We implement and offer connectivity based on a standard protocol. The satellite industry has traditionally offered connectivity based on proprietary solutions. End users have to pay monthly subscription costs and invest in proprietary hardware. Sateliot’s Global connectivity goes beyond what is available in the market, as it is the first LEO Satellite connectivity provider that works under the 3GPP Standard, an agreement made by top-notch tech companies such as Apple, Sony, and Samsung, among others.
Sateliot is the first to take advantage of this standard, which allows all existing NB-IoT devices to be connected via Satellite through Sateliot’s constellation. This means Sateliot is able to provide service at a similar cost and price to that of terrestrial cellular networks. This innovation will finally enable the massive adoption of IoT in traditional out-of-coverage areas.
Store and Forward- Sateliot’s State of Art Technology
‘Store & Forward’ implementation, a two-step authentication method developed and patented by Sateliot, was created to support standard roaming with a Mobile Network Operator and adapted to the Non-Terrestrial Network in low earth orbit (NTN LEO). The Store & Forward technology is part of a Sateliot 5G network with satellite access that stores data when the satellite is not in a position to connect with a ground station and forwards it as entering the coverage range. This is a particularly relevant feature for Sateliot’s delay-tolerant IoT services for its early-stage constellation, in which the number of satellites is still limited.
The positive results of the demo carried out in partnership with Telefonica confirm that 5G IoT devices are able to transmit data through a standard roaming interface using the Store & Forward two-step authentication method, ensuring Sateliot enters commercial operations in 2024.
