At the ‘The Things Conference’ in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Omnispace successfully displayed their non-geostationary (NGSO) IoT satellite connectivity. The demonstration helped Omnispace improve its initiatives as it works with Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) throughout the world to fulfill the growing need for IoT and D2D connectivity.
The brand-new service provides low-power, universal connection for a wide range of IoT products and markets. It makes use of LoRaWAN®, a global satellite coverage-bridging communications protocol standard that may connect terrestrial networks. Utilizing Omnispace’s current network assets outside of Europe, Omnispace and Lacuna Space successfully tested the technology over the course of the previous year.
“Omnispace services the global IoT market and has a mission to provide seamless direct-to-device terrestrial and satellite IoT connectivity to a range of international applications and sectors, working with our satellite and ground infrastructure partners. This most recent accomplishment enables us to demonstrate the global potential of satellite IoT service. — Jay Yass, Omnispace’s chief strategy and corporate development officer.
“We are happy to carry on with the project we began with Omnispace. Together, we eagerly anticipate offering these potent IoT services to sectors of the global economy. – Lacuna CEO Rob Spurrett.
Viasat is still dedicated to promoting innovation and investigating cutting-edge technology with prospective partners. We anticipate strong demand for all of our worldwide satellite services, including a previously unheard-of possibility for 5G and 6G satellite delivery of next-generation mass IoT, direct-to-device, and other applications, for which L- and S-band are best suited. Such collaborative trials are a crucial first step in developing a network of partners. SVP of Strategic Initiatives at Viasat, Mike Kreller
