Nordic, Skylo partner on cellular-satellite communications
Nordic Semiconductor is working with Skylo Technologies Inc. to certify the nRF9151 cellular communications module’s suitability for use with Skylo’s satellite network service.
The use of hybrid cellular-satellite communications opens up numerous IoT use cases including; remote monitoring, asset tracking, and enhanced safety and security, Nordic said.
The nRF9151 is a low power cellular IoT solution with support for an LTE-M, NB-IoT, and DECT NR+ modem alongside an open application MCU core, with GNSS and cell-based location capabilities. Skylo device certification and non-terrestrial network (NTN) support are expected to be announced in a product update later this year.
“We see strong demand from the market for satellite connectivity on low power modules such as the award-winning nRF9151,” said Tarun Gupta, chief product officer and co-founder of Skylo.
