Skylo Technologies and Particle have partnered to streamline satellite connectivity, management and deployment for developers.
The integration of Skylo’s satellite connectivity with Particle’s IoT platform provides developers a comprehensive, multi-radio solution for building and deploying IoT products without having to worry about whether they have cellular coverage or not. This solution includes access to Particle’s device management services, data intelligence tools and secure, scalable cloud infrastructure, all optimised for use with NTN connectivity powered by Skylo. Developers will be able to connect directly to Skylo’s NTN through the Particle IoT Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).
“Skylo’s mission has always been to make satellite connectivity available to all, and by partnering with Particle, we are empowering developers to create a completely new generation of IoT solutions that were previously unimaginable,” said Parthsarathi Trivedi, the CEO and co-founder of Skylo. “This breakthrough in IoT development provides a seamless, reliable link between edge devices and the cloud, regardless of location.”
Zach Supalla, the CEO of Particle, said, “With Particle’s expertise in IoT technology and Skylo’s innovative approach to satellite communications, we are thrilled to embark on this journey together. This partnership is about more than just technology; it’s about unlocking new possibilities for developers and businesses, enabling them to build solutions that can truly make a difference in the world.”
Applications range from precision agriculture and maritime logistics to environmental monitoring and emergency services, all of which require consistent and reliable communication capabilities.
Developers interested in using this technology can expect the NTN-accessible M-SoM system-on-module and Muon development board to be available for order through Particle’s store in the coming months. Skylo and Particle will provide ongoing support and resources to ensure developers can maximise the potential of their IoT projects. Skylo requires certification for devices, chipsets and modules to integrate into the Skylo network. More information on certification can be found here.
