en.Wedoany.com Reported - On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, satellite Internet of Things (IoT) provider Myriota announced the formal integration of terrestrial cellular connectivity into its HyperPulse 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) ecosystem.
This network architecture expansion transforms the company's previously satellite-only system into a hybrid dual-mode infrastructure framework, which automatically coordinates transmission paths between low-power space networks and regional terrestrial cellular data assets based on real-time signal availability. Alongside the network service expansion, the company launched AssetHawk, a rugged, battery-powered hardware tracker that will serve as the first commercial client terminal for the upgraded hybrid service.
Standard Compliance and Hardware Silicon Integration.
The HyperPulse network infrastructure complies with the 3GPP Release 17 Narrowband IoT Non-Terrestrial Network (NB-IoT NTN) standard. By embedding standard protocol stacks, the network is natively compatible with third-party standard-based commercial silicon modules, including an initial technical collaboration with Nordic Semiconductor's nRF9151 System-on-Chip (SoC) microarchitecture, enabling Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and software engineers to develop custom industrial tracking terminals using standard software libraries such as Zephyr. The space segment of the HyperPulse system relies on a constellation of Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites operated in partnership with Viasat through institutional capacity sharing. The system utilizes proprietary intelligent beam hopping technology to dynamically concentrate radio frequency energy on active device coverage areas, optimizing transmission power limits, maintaining bidirectional links for data payload packets of up to 250 bytes, and capping baseline transmission latency within 30 minutes.
Financial Model and Market Expansion Mechanism.
The launch of dual-mode orchestration targets specific gaps in supply chain logistics and industrial monitoring. According to current indicators from ABI Research, global IoT connections utilizing non-terrestrial network standards are expected to grow from 2.08 million in 2024 to approximately 14 million by 2032, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 26.9%. Previously, single-mode satellite IoT configurations faced market resistance, as mobile asset operators were reluctant to pay high satellite transmission rates when cargo passed through well-covered urban cellular channels. The hybrid network reduces the operating cost curve by routing telemetry data via terrestrial links when available, switching to satellite paths only in remote "zero-cellular" areas. Under the newly introduced pricing grid, Myriota prices its entry-level hybrid service plan starting at $0.99 per device per month.
AssetHawk Terminal Specifications.
The AssetHawk edge tracking terminal serves as an all-in-one integration platform for third-party system integrators and logistics providers. Encased in an IP68-rated impact-resistant housing, the device is designed to withstand continuous seawater immersion, high-dust mining pits, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Powered by two standard AA batteries, its power management profile supports a lifespan of up to 10 years, depending on message frequency configuration. The device integrates a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) gateway module using a passive scanning architecture, capable of capturing data frames from nearby BLE-enabled wireless asset tags and physical sensors without complex device pairing. This capability enables a single AssetHawk node to act as a local sensor hub on heavy machinery, simultaneously transmitting GPS location coordinates and peripheral telemetry data such as liquid tank levels, cold chain refrigeration temperatures, and structural vibration indicators over a unified network.
Product Availability Framework.
Hybrid network capabilities and the AssetHawk tracking hardware are scheduled to enter standard commercial phase and be delivered to customers later this month. Software development kits, automated RESTful API endpoints for external data visualization platforms such as TagoIO and Blynk, and evaluation engineering kits are currently available through Myriota's developer portal.
