Myriota announces that it has joined the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI). As an ETSI member, Myriota can now help 3GPP define products which add high quality ubiquitous satellite coverage to all cellular IoT markets. By embracing standards as part of their IoT connectivity platform, Myriota will seamlessly add satellite connectivity alongside existing terrestrial networks using low-cost, low-power off-the-shelf cellular devices and modules.
ETSI is a crucial player in defining the future of telecommunications. Established in 1988 by the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT), it has since been an important player in global standardisation for telecommunications technology. The Institute is an organisational partner of 3GPP, the telecommunication standards organisation that has been responsible for developing the standards for LTE, 4G, 5G, and NB-IoT.
Myriota can now apply its 10 years of satellite communications expertise to contribute to the definition of 3GPP products, while also working with other members in the ecosystem to drive adoption and expand markets for the satellite-based IoT. The development and adoption of standards allows customers to utilise off the shelf devices that can be added to the low cost, low power Myriota Network, benefiting from interoperability, economies of scale, and driving innovation.
Myriota’s HyperPulse 5G NTN platform delivers low power IoT services, with battery life measured in years, for a wide range of applications across logistics, utilities, and industrial control systems. Utilising Geostationary satellites, Myriota HyperPulse is a world first implementation of a 5G NTN technology that uses beam hopping, activating beams where they are needed at a given time, depending on the current traffic demands. This innovative approach optimises power consumption in battery-powered IoT devices while significantly enhancing usage efficiency of satellite resources and scarce spectrum.
“The 3GPP family of telecoms standards has been one of the most successful technology developments in history, acting as a catalyst for global, interoperable mobile communications,” said Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota. “We are delighted to have joined ETSI, and look forward to working closely with the ecosystem.”
Myriota’s HyperPulse network is designed exclusively for the extreme challenges of the IoT. The platform delivers reliable, consistent, standards compliant connectivity while minimising energy consumption and service cost and is the most affordable and power efficient 5G IoT connectivity available.
