O2 Telefónica and Skylo Technologiesa leading provider of satellite-based telecommunications for the Internet of Things (IoT), have partnered for global IoT connectivity. Skylo’s so-called Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), which transmits from space, can complement networks on Earth and help fill coverage gaps. Currently, special terminals are needed to communicate with satellites. In the future, integrated 5G radio modules can seamlessly switch between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks. These radio modules will use O2 Telefónica’s Integrated SIM (iSIM). This will change the way companies can seamlessly, reliably, sustainably and cost-effectively network their IoT devices and ensure data transmission.
