Skylo Technologies, a leader in non-terrestrial network (NTN) communications, has joined forces with Particle, a prominent provider of edge-to-cloud IoT infrastructure, to simplify satellite connectivity, management, and deployment for developers.

By integrating Skylo's satellite connectivity with Particle's IoT platform, developers now have access to a comprehensive, multi-radio solution for building and deploying IoT products without the need for cellular coverage.

This partnership offers Particle's device management services, data intelligence tools, and secure, scalable cloud infrastructure, all optimized for use with Skylo's NTN connectivity. Developers can now connect directly to Skylo's NTN through Particle's IoT Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for the first time.

"Skylo's mission has always been to make satellite connectivity available to all, and by partnering with Particle, we are empowering developers to create a completely new generation of IoT solutions that were previously unimaginable," said Parthsarathi Trivedi, CEO and co-founder of Skylo. "This breakthrough in IoT development provides a seamless, reliable link between edge devices and the cloud, regardless of location."

"With Particle's expertise in IoT technology and Skylo's innovative approach to satellite communications, we are thrilled to embark on this journey together," said Zach Supalla, CEO of Particle. "This partnership is about more than just technology; it's about unlocking new possibilities for developers and businesses, enabling them to build solutions that can truly make a difference in the world."

Applications for this technology include precision agriculture, maritime logistics, environmental monitoring, and emergency services, all of which depend on consistent and reliable communication capabilities.

Developers looking to utilize this significant technology can anticipate the NTN-accessible M-SoM system-on-module and Muon development board to be available for order through Particle's store in the coming months. Skylo and Particle will provide continuous support and resources to help developers maximize their IoT projects. Devices, chipsets, and modules require certification to integrate seamlessly into the Skylo network. More information on certification can be found here.
