[embedded content] In this episode of the IoT For All Podcast, Ian Itz from Iridium joins Ryan Chacon to discuss satellite connectivity in IoT solutions. We cover the key differentiators of satellite IoT companies, the benefits of different types of constellations, and the different sectors where we anticipate growth in satellite connectivity adoption. Ian also highlights the limitations of satellite IoT connectivity and predicts consolidation of satellite IoT players, more standardization in the space, and innovations around form factor and power consumption. Blues provides wireless connectivity products that work, so…

IoT deployments cover a staggeringly wide spectrum of use cases, so much so that using IoT as an umbrella term is itself problematic. Connected devices can range from tiny sensors to sizeable AMRs (autonomous mobile robots). Accordingly, the trade-offs made between data capacity, area coverage and energy consumption are also unique to each IoT system. A rather dynamically growing segment of the sector is massive IoT, where hundreds or thousands of devices are distributed over a vast geographic area. While the emerging 5G technology supports massive machine-type communications too, where…

Today, a group of corporate giants in the satellite and internet world came together in San Ramon, California, to start something new and it is called the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA). Their goal is to make it easier for everyone to connect to the internet by blending satellite and regular internet networks. MSSA is seeking to use special parts of the radio spectrum, called L- and S-band spectrum, to create a big global network. They are aiming to follow the same rules that regular cellphone networks use, so your…

The Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) has a vision of integrating terrestrial and non-terrestrial network (NTN) services to deliver scalable, sustainable, and affordable connectivity to any device, anytime, anywhere Enables over 100 MHz of standards-based, interoperable L- and S-band spectrum for D2D across multiple MSS networks globally Viasat, Inc., Terrestar Solutions, Ligado Networks, Omnispace and Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PJSC (Yahsat) today announced the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA). MSSA will bring significant scale and choice to promote and advance the emerging Direct-to-Device (D2D) ecosystem. MSSA seeks to develop…

IoT — where machine-based intelligence, monitoring and connectivity are built into more and more devices and systems for consumer, commercial and civic applications — is having an increased impact on our lives and work. Faster performance and broader connectivity will accelerate this trend, particularly for health applications. According to “The Impact of Technology in 2024 and Beyond: an IEEE Global Study,” from October 2023, 54% of participants said 5G would benefit telemedicine, including remote surgery and health record transmission. In addition, 88% said faster 6G networks will be standardized in…
