Semtech and Skylo Partner for All-in-One Cellular and Satellite IoT Solution
Semtech and Skylo have unveiled the industry’s first end-to-end IoT connectivity solution that combines cellular and satellite access under a single SIM and platform, eliminating one of the biggest pain points in global IoT deployment.
Until now, devices would lose connectivity once they moved out of cellular range, forcing companies to juggle multiple vendors, certifications, and costly satellite integrations. The new solution changes that: with Skylo-certified HL78 LPWA modules, Semtech’s Smart Connectivity Premium SIM, and the AirVantage® platform, IoT devices can automatically switch between terrestrial and satellite networks for continuous, low-cost connectivity anywhere on Earth.
The solution supports LTE-M, NB-IoT, and NTN connections across 600+ mobile networks in 190+ countries — plus Skylo’s LEO satellite coverage spanning 60 million square kilometres. Businesses can manage devices, SIMs, and billing from a single dashboard, simplifying operations and lowering total cost of ownership.
Available for pilot testing now, the integrated Semtech–Skylo solution will launch commercially in November 2025.
