A new milestone in satellite IoT
In December 2025, Myriota officially announced the general availability of its new connectivity platform, HyperPulse — the world’s first commercial 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) engineered specifically for IoT.
HyperPulse combines Myriota’s own 5G-NTN architecture with L-band capacity leased from Viasat. The result is a satellite-based IoT network that promises global reach, scalable performance, and significantly improved latency and data capacity compared with traditional low-power satellite IoT services.
What makes HyperPulse stand out
- Dynamic beam-hopping and resource optimisation: HyperPulse uses beam-hopping — activating satellite beams only where and when needed according to traffic demand. This reduces power consumption for battery-powered IoT devices — a major advantage for remote deployments — while optimising limited satellite and spectrum resources.
- Standards-compliant 5G-NTN foundation: Built according to the 3GPP standard for non-terrestrial networks, HyperPulse ensures compatibility with a growing ecosystem of NTN-capable chipsets and devices.
- Improved performance over UltraLite: HyperPulse complements Myriota’s existing low-power service, UltraLite, which focuses on extreme energy efficiency and minimal data use. In contrast, HyperPulse offers lower latency, higher daily data allowances, and more frequent data transmission — enabling more advanced IoT applications.
- Flexible “on-demand” network performance: An optimisation layer dynamically adjusts connectivity parameters — such as data volume and latency — depending on customer needs or environmental conditions.
Real-world use cases: from livestock to railcars
HyperPulse is designed for IoT applications where more detailed reporting and richer sensing matter. Early adopters already include customers in environmental monitoring, asset tracking, oil & gas pipelines, and animal tracking.
Some of the envisioned use cases:
- Asset tracking: Heavy equipment, shipping containers, railcars or trailers can be tracked globally, giving businesses real-time visibility, reducing losses, and improving logistics efficiency.
- Smart metering and utilities: From water and energy meters to environmental sensors, HyperPulse enables remote, real-time data collection even in regions without terrestrial connectivity.
- Environmental and climate monitoring: Sensors for soil, air, water quality or weather stations can transmit data from remote or under-served regions — potentially aiding researchers, conservation efforts, and regulatory agencies.
- Animal management and agriculture: Livestock tracking, virtual fencing, feed optimisation and remote monitoring become possible even in remote grazing areas.
- Infrastructure, mining and oil & gas: Monitoring pipelines, remote heavy machinery and infrastructure integrity — sectors where terrain and remote locations often mean traditional connectivity fails — will benefit enormously.
Global roll-out: Where and when
According to Myriota, HyperPulse will be generally available from 15 December 2025 in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and Saudi Arabia. Early-access customers — particularly in environmental monitoring and animal tracking — are already connected.
Looking ahead, Myriota plans to extend NTN coverage to Europe, Southeast Asia and additional Latin American countries (including Argentina) in early 2026.
Supporting adoption: The Developer Kit
Acknowledging that connectivity by itself isn’t enough, Myriota is also launching a HyperPulse Developer Kit — a weatherproof, battery-operated kit with multiple sensor and interface options, aimed at IoT developers, OEMs, and solution providers who want to prototype and deploy field devices over HyperPulse with minimal friction.
This move could accelerate adoption among enterprises and innovators by lowering the barrier to entry: hardware makers and developers can test and validate real-world use cases before scaling up.
What this means for the future of IoT
HyperPulse marks a significant shift in what “IoT anywhere” can realistically mean. By combining the reach and ubiquity of satellites with the standards and capabilities of 5G NTN, Myriota is carving out a new lane — one where global coverage, energy efficiency, scalability and flexibility coexist.
For industries that operate in remote regions — agriculture, utilities, logistics, environmental monitoring, infrastructure, mining — HyperPulse could become a backbone for next-generation IoT deployments. Instead of being constrained by lack of terrestrial networks, companies can now envision global sensor networks, real-time data pipelines, and broader digital transformation.
Moreover, as the service expands into more regions by early 2026 (Europe, Southeast Asia, Latin America), the potential market size for satellite-based IoT will grow substantially. This may also incentivise device makers to accelerate development of 5G-NTN compatible devices and modules — especially as the solution is built on standardised 3GPP protocols.
Final thoughts
With HyperPulse, Myriota delivers on a long-standing promise: enabling “IoT everywhere” — not just where there’s cellular coverage, but truly everywhere on Earth. For the satellite IoT ecosystem, this is an additional option to existing satellite IoT constellations — making low-power, high-reach, scalable IoT not a niche, but a default option for remote and underserved regions.
As HyperPulse rolls out globally, the key will be adoption: how quickly industries embrace satellite-first IoT architectures, how rapidly device makers support 5G NTN chipsets or LoRaWAN sensor to satellite capacity and how effectively solution providers leverage the flexibility of this new architecture.
For everyone watching satellite IoT, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year.
