Our take
Skylo connects Internet of Things (IoT) devices to satellite networks using the cellular-based Narrowband IoT protocol. It is considered one of the world’s most affordable and ubiquitous networks that connects any machine or sensor.
The company stands out for being the first to leverage the aforementioned protocol, which allows its customers to instantaneously connect billions of devices in remote areas, without having to wait for any new satellites to launch. Having tested its technology with government and enterprise clients, the company then invested funding into scaling service in emerging markets, starting with India and Southeast Asia.
More recently, Skylo has focussed on forming partnerships, such as with IoT firm FocusPoint and telecommunications equipment company Anritsu Corporation, through which it has helped delivered IoT monitoring and emergency escalation services and enhanced Non-Terrestrial Network device testing. It has also launched SMS texting capabilities on its live satellite network, with plans to roll out two-way voice calls and images in the near future.
