Podcast: Skylo CTO Nuttall on power of narrowband IoT
Listen to ‘The Dish’ discussion on the tech’s proliferation
Narrowband nonterrestrial network service provider Skylo Technologies announced July 20 it will collaborate with advanced IoT developer Soracom on machine connectivity solutions using Skylo’s direct-to-device 3GPP technology.
Narrowband “allows satellite transmission to be concentrated into a small bandwidth allowing more efficiency,” Skylo Technologies Chief Technology Officer Andrew Nuttall tells Connectivity Business News in this episode of “The Dish” podcast. “You’re going to be seeing a lot of narrowband IoT proliferation as the de facto technology standard.”
Industries set to benefit from narrowband IoT include agriculture, maritime, transportation and outdoor leisure.
Integrations between the Mountain View, Calif-based Skylo and those like Tokyo-based Soracom are intended to expand seamless connectivity solutions while reducing costs, simplifying how hybrid connections keep people online as they move around areas with varying degrees of coverage by enabling more complete service.
“There are tiny moments in all our lives where our connectivity drops, even here in California, and we’re faced with inconvenience and delay,” Nuttall said. “The presence of those incidents means many of us can’t yet rely wholly on a flexible connection.”
Listen as Nuttall discusses how Skylo aims to create a more complete picture for hybrid networks, and enable new, resilient online capability.
