KPN and Skylo join forces for worldwide satellite connectivity
In collaboration with KPN Wholesale, KPN has partnered with Skylo for mission-critical communication in markets worldwide to ensure connectivity even where gaps in cellular coverage exist. Together, KPN and Skylo are setting a new standard for continuous communication in IoT to open new business opportunities globally.
With advanced Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology, based on the 3GPP Release 17 industry standards, devices can seamlessly switch between mobile and satellite networks. This ensures an uninterrupted connection from the same device without the need for large, traditional satellite dishes.All of this can be handled through your existing relationship with KPN, no new billing relationships or partnerships are required.
"With Skylo's groundbreaking NTN technology, we are transforming the way businesses and emergency services stay connected worldwide, without compromising safety or efficiency," says Jeffrey Rosink, Commercial Roaming Manager at KPN.
Thus, we offer a robust and future-proof solution for communication in critical situations. Whether it's in remote areas without mobile coverage or situations where conventional networks fail, KPN and Skylo ensure that businesses, emergency services, and international operations always stay connected.
"Skylo is excited to partner with KPN to launch satellite-based IoT services across the Netherlands, and around the world while opening parts of the globe once thought impossible to reach. This collaboration will empower KPN's customers in sectors like agriculture, energy, maritime, and transportation with enhanced connectivity, improving business efficiency, asset tracking, safety, and reliability. Paul Hanton, Global VP for Carrier Partnerships at Skylo, states: “This innovative collaboration not only enhances operational efficiency but also unlocks unprecedented global connectivity, imagine the innovation.”
