Myriota announced the launch of a further four satellites that have been added to its UltraLite LEO constellation, in partnership with Spire, a global provider of space infrastructure. These nanosatellites are in the process of being onboarded following their launch on 14th March on SpaceX’s Transporter-13 mission, with more launches expected to further expand the constellation throughout the rest of the year.
The four new satellites bolster Myriota’s UltraLite LEO constellation, strengthening its comprehensive set of global IoT connectivity options, which includes its 3GPP-aligned HyperPulse GEO satellite service. The combination enables the company to service a broad spectrum of IoT sensor use cases around the globe, with performance, capacity and coverage requirements specifically tailored to individual customers – from the most power limited, deployment challenged customers to those seeking seamless terrestrial to non-terrestrial network (NTN) roaming.
The expanded capacity provided by the new satellites will ensure Myriota customers operating in industries such as logistics, utilities, and agriculture can securely monitor and collect data globally using long-lasting and low-cost IoT sensors. The company’s customers and partners around the world are already tracking, locating, and monitoring assets including water tanks, vehicles, wind turbines, shipping containers, and equipment and tools.
“We are maintaining a regular cadence of satellite launches, adding ever more capacity, coverage and resilience to our UltraLite constellation of LEO satellites as we invest in continuous upgrading of our service offerings,” said Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota. “Our networks can now support tens of millions of IoT connections around the globe, ensuring access to low-power, cost effective sensor networks to more countries and industries, ready for our partners to further expand their solution deployments in 2025 and 2026.”
The ongoing growth of Myriota’s UltraLite global network is a key component of the company’s mission to deliver the most flexible and comprehensive IoT connectivity platform. Myriota has more than a decade of experience in delivering high security, power efficient direct-to-satellite IoT solutions, with millions of data messages received from real world sensor devices.
By complementing Myriota’s own satellites with the assets of partners including Spire and Viasat, the company is able to deliver reliable, secure IoT connectivity services backed by the most robust space infrastructure available.
