en.Wedoany.com Reported - Myriota has announced the addition of cellular connectivity to its HyperPulse 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) and AssetHawk asset tracker devices, building a hybrid IoT system that integrates satellite and cellular networks to deliver uninterrupted global connectivity.
This hybrid solution combines HyperPulse's low-power satellite connectivity with cellular network support, designed and priced for large-scale industrial IoT. The launch expands the company's addressable market, enabling seamless tracking of assets moving between urban cellular coverage and remote non-cellular environments—a market long underserved due to the inadequacy of single-mode solutions. The solution addresses the industry challenge of making hybrid connectivity easy to deploy, manage, and price.
HyperPulse automatically routes each message via cellular or satellite networks based on availability and configuration. Users no longer need to manage separate satellite and cellular service providers, contracts, and platforms. Now, a single device under one unified connectivity contract can cover an asset's entire operational geography, from urban logistics hubs to the most remote areas.
Myriota CEO Ben Cade stated that a vast number of remote and distributed operational assets have long remained offline—not due to technical infeasibility, but because of a lack of economic viability. HyperPulse changes this, making it commercially viable for the first time to connect assets in almost any location at a cost of less than one dollar per month. He described this not as an incremental improvement, but as a new market.
Satellite IoT previously served primarily the most remote applications. Adding cellular connectivity changes the economics for a broader range of asset categories, including trailers moving along transport corridors, generators rotating across different sites, containers shipped through ports and then inland, and fixed infrastructure distributed across both connected and remote locations. These assets are only outside terrestrial coverage for part of their operational lifespan, which necessitates satellite connectivity but makes a pure satellite solution economically unattractive. HyperPulse can now serve such assets effectively and efficiently.
ABI Research forecasts that IoT connections based on NTN standards will grow from 2.08 million in 2024 to nearly 14 million by 2032, at a compound annual growth rate of 26.9%. Myriota is at the forefront of this growth curve and the convergence of satellite and cellular technologies.
Myriota designs, builds, and operates the HyperPulse network. The network complies with 3GPP Release 17 standards and is compatible with a growing ecosystem of standardized chips. Currently, HyperPulse offers hybrid coverage in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia, with plans to launch in more markets this year. With the addition of cellular connectivity, the system can seamlessly route to the most cost-effective network, thereby reducing the per-message hybrid cost. Hybrid data plans start at $0.99 per device per month, solidifying the company's position as one of the most competitively priced operators in the IoT connectivity space.
AssetHawk is Myriota's rugged, battery-powered asset tracker, designed as the first dedicated device for deployment on the hybrid HyperPulse network. As an integration-ready solution for solution providers, it integrates BLE sensor capabilities, transforming a single tracker into a localized sensor hub. AssetHawk provides partners with a low-cost foundation for building and deploying industrial IoT solutions at scale and is considered the lowest total cost of ownership option among hybrid trackers on the market.
