Keep your IoT devices connected beyond the reach of cellular networks.
When a tracked asset or remote sensor moves out of cellular coverage, its data stops until coverage returns. According to the GSMA, the majority of the Earth’s landmass lacks cellular coverage, leaving pipelines, wells, vehicles, containers and vessels without a reliable connection.
Satellite has traditionally filled those gaps with proprietary terminals, separate hardware and separate contracts. 3GPP Release 17 changed that by standardizing NB-IoT and LTE-M over satellite non-terrestrial networks (NTN). With the right module and SIM, a single device can now use cellular as its primary connection and switch to satellite only when no terrestrial network is available.
This white paper, A Practical Guide to Hybrid Cellular and Satellite NTN for IoT, takes you from 3GPP standards to device implementation, with practical guidance for designing reliable hybrid satellite IoT deployments.
In this white paper, you’ll learn how to:
- Compare satellite IoT options and understand what 3GPP NTN changes
- Choose the right NTN-capable module for your devices
- Design applications for satellite latency, message size and power limits
- Build network selection and fallback logic that keeps satellite usage under control
