5G NB-IoT Satellite Connectivity Service

Sateliot operates the world’s first commercial satellite constellation providing 5G NB-IoT connectivity in licensed spectrum from low Earth orbit, enabling standard IoT devices using off-the-shelf NB-IoT chipsets (such as those from Quectel, Telit, and others) to connect directly to satellites without firmware changes, special antennas, or proprietary protocols.

The service uses 3GPP Release 13 NB-IoT standard transmissions in the 800 MHz band, mirroring the standard used by terrestrial 5G networks. This direct compatibility means that existing IoT deployments using standard NB-IoT hardware can extend their global coverage to areas beyond cellular infrastructure simply by routing to Sateliot’s satellite network tier — turning a terrestrial-only deployment into a fully global solution with no new hardware.

Satelio’s LEO constellation provides intermittent connectivity with satellite passes every few hours over a given location, suitable for IoT applications with relaxed latency requirements: vessel tracking, livestock monitoring, agricultural sensor telemetry, environmental monitoring, remote metering, cold chain monitoring, and logistics tracking in areas without mobile coverage. The company partners with mobile network operators who integrate Sateliot as a satellite roaming extension to their terrestrial NB-IoT networks, allowing enterprise IoT customers a single operator relationship for global coverage.
