Myriota has announced the addition of cellular connectivity to its HyperPulse 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) and AssetHawk asset tracker device, creating a hybrid IoT network that, it says, enables seamless asset tracking between cellular coverage and remote, zero-cell environments.
The launch marks a significant milestone for Myriota in expanding its market share in a sector forecasted to reach nearly 14 million IoT-NTN connections by 2032, the company states.
“By combining HyperPulse’s low-power satellite connectivity with support for cellular networks, Myriota delivers a hybrid solution designed – and priced – for industrial IoT at scale,” it says. “HyperPulse automatically routes each message across cellular or satellite based on availability and configuration, removing the need for users to manage separate satellite and cellular providers, contracts and platforms. A single device on a single connectivity contract now covers the full operational geography of an asset, from urban logistics hubs to the most remote environments on Earth.”
Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota, said: “For decades, vast numbers of remote and distributed operational assets have remained disconnected – not because the technology didn’t exist, but because the economics never worked. HyperPulse changes that equation. For the first time, it’s commercially viable to connect almost any asset, anywhere, for less than a dollar per month, making this one of the most accessible solutions available today.”
Myriota designed, built and operates the HyperPulse network. Compliant to 3GPP Release 17 standards and compatible with a growing ecosystem of standards-based silicon, HyperPulse delivers hybrid coverage across the US, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia, with more markets due to launch this year.
AssetHawk, Myriota’s ruggedised, battery-powered asset tracker, is, the company claims, the first device purpose-built for deployment on the hybrid HyperPulse network. Designed as an integration-ready device for solution providers, it includes BLE sensor integration, effectively turning a single tracker into a localised sensor hub.
