New partnership brings Particle tools and
infrastructure together with Skylo satellite network to unlock new
connectivity solutions
Skylo Technologies, the pioneer in non-terrestrial network (NTN)
communications, and Particle, the leading edge-to-cloud
infrastructure for the IoT, 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 optimized for use with NTN connectivity
powered by Skylo. For the first time, 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, 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."
"With Particle's expertise in IoT technology and Skylo's
innovative approach to satellite communications, we are thrilled to
embark on this journey together," said Zach Supalla, CEO of
Particle. "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 leveraging this groundbreaking
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 maximize the
potential of their IoT projects. Skylo requires certification for
devices, chipsets and modules to seamlessly integrate into the
Skylo network. More information on certification can be found
here.
