Seeing Satelliot pioneering a paradigm shift\u2014bringing IoT connectivity directly from space using standard 3GPP technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The promise of solving coverage gaps at a global scale made the move irresistible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:34px\"><strong>Why Seamless Connectivity Matters Now More Than Ever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite claims of 99.9% terrestrial coverage, the reality for IoT is far more complex. Devices moving across borders, logistics routes, oceans, or remote land areas frequently fall into coverage gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shahbaz highlighted a striking fact: &#8220;<strong>Only 20% of Earth\u2019s landmass actually has terrestrial coverage.<\/strong>&#8220;<br>The other 80%, oceans, forests, mountains, rural expanses, remains disconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For mission-critical verticals like agriculture, mining, logistics, public safety, and environmental monitoring, this is a costly limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) step in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:34px\"><strong>Democratising Satellite Connectivity Through Standards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Sateliot\u2019s core missions is <em>democratisation<\/em>, taking satellite connectivity from premium, proprietary, and expensive to affordable, interoperable, and massively scalable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By leveraging 3GPP Release 17 standards<\/strong>. This allows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The same modules and chipsets used for terrestrial NB-IoT to connect to satellites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mass adoption driven by low-cost, standardised hardware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct-to-device connectivity without expensive proprietary terminals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operators to extend coverage without additional infrastructure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Shahbaz\u2019s words: \u201c<em>This is not a proprietary solution. We are implementers of the standard<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That distinction is critical; it enables global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:34px\"><strong>Working With the Ecosystem, Not Against It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recurring theme throughout the discussion was collaboration. Shahbaz was clear: <strong>Sateliot is not competing with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, they <em>extend<\/em> the operator\u2019s coverage footprint through standard roaming, no infrastructure upgrades required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Customers keep their existing operator as the service owner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Devices switch seamlessly from terrestrial to satellite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operators unlock new revenue without new towers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cooperation-first model has been instrumental in driving industry buy-in and reducing early-stage scepticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:34px\"><strong>Regional Demand: Why Australia Is a Hotspot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia, with its vast unconnected landmass and critical industries like agriculture and mining, has emerged as a priority market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Demand there is high across both IoT and emerging Direct-to-Device (D2D) use cases, especially for public safety and emergency communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sateliot is already licensed and actively integrating with operators across the region as part of broader global expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:34px\"><strong>MWC Barcelona 2025: A Milestone for Live NTN Validation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At MWC Barcelona 2025, Sateliot showcased:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A real reference device using 3GPP Rel-17 NTN<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live switching between terrestrial and satellite networks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End-to-end data flow from device \u2192 satellite \u2192 MNO \u2192 cloud<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A clear roadmap toward wider constellation coverage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry response?
