Smart Connectivity Premium now offers access to terrestrial and satellite networks through a single SIM—delivering the industry’s first device-to-cloud IoT solution when combined with Skylo-certified HL78xx LPWA modules and the unified management platform

Global IoT deployments have long been hampered by a fundamental challenge: devices lose connectivity the moment they move beyond cellular tower range, leaving critical applications like asset tracking, agricultural monitoring and remote utilities vulnerable to coverage gaps. While traditional satellite connectivity solutions exist, they are typically costly and bespoke with a high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). These custom solutions typically require businesses to establish and maintain relationships with multiple vendors, handle separate device certifications and integrate different platforms—creating complexity, extending deployment timelines and ballooning costs.

Semtech has eliminated these barriers by combining Skylo-certified HL7810 and HL7812 Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) modules, the global Smart Connectivity Premium SIM with integrated NTN access and unified management via the AirVantage platform. This integrated offering automatically switches between terrestrial and satellite networks enabling continuous connectivity. This breakthrough addresses a rapidly expanding market, with IoT-NTN connections growing at over 25% annually through 2030 according to ABI Research.

“Semtech is our first partner to deliver Skylo-certified modules with integrated network access,” said Tarun Gupta, chief product officer and co-founder at Skylo. “By integrating Skylo’s satellite network directly into Semtech’s Smart Connectivity platform, we’re making NTN IoT as simple as ordering a traditional cellular solution. This partnership represents the future of seamless global connectivity, ensuring that enterprises have access to connectivity and insights wherever their devices are located.”
