en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish satellite IoT company Sateliot and Brazil's CPQD announced on the 15th of this month the completion of the first commercial demonstration of satellite Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity in Brazil.

The test was conducted in an area without cellular network coverage, aiming to verify the technical and commercial feasibility of connecting IoT devices in remote regions via satellite networks. This proof of concept was carried out under the "Conecte o Brasil LEO NTN" program, which seeks to promote the certification, testing, and application of low Earth orbit satellite technology in Brazil.

As a specific use case, the project tested a low-power device for tracking cattle in areas without ground coverage. According to the two organizations, the demonstration utilized Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology, enabling the device to communicate via low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. The test also confirmed the possibility of integrating terrestrial mobile networks with satellite networks. Devices compliant with the NB-IoT standard can connect directly via satellite without requiring adaptation or specialized hardware. CPQD stated that this experiment represents a step toward expanding IoT services beyond the coverage range of traditional cellular networks. In practical applications, this technology can be used for environmental monitoring, logistics, agriculture, and asset tracking in rural areas.

Gianluca Redolfi, Chief Commercial Officer of Sateliot, stated that the test not only proved the technology works effectively under real-world conditions but also demonstrated that it can be deployed using standard devices and operators' existing infrastructure, which is crucial for scaling IoT connectivity globally.
