Satellite-based narrow-band IoT (NB-IoT) solution company Skylo Tuesday said it has partnered with Inmarsat to use its satellite capacity backbone to deliver IoT solutions for machines and sensors.
The solution will be delivered in India through the state-run telco Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), while further expansion plans will be announced later this year, as per an official statement.
Under the partnership, Inmarsat will pair its global satellite network with Skylo’s IoT solution that will provide remotely located application users with real-time actionable insights, the statement added.
“Inmarsat’s industry-leading L-band network provides a unique capability for enabling the billions of connected IoT devices in India and across the world that are being deployed at an extraordinary speed. We are delighted to work with Skylo to provide the IoT fabric that matches their ambition,” said Inmarsat’s Chief Executive Officer, Rajeev Suri.
