BSNL, in partnership with Skylotech India, announced a breakthrough in satellite-based NB-IoT (Narrow Band-Internet of Things).
Key takeaways
This is indigenously developed by Skylo.
It will connect with BSNLs satellite- ground infrastructure and provide PAN-India coverage, including Indian seas.
The coverage will be so vast that it will not leave any dark patch within the boundary of India.
This is the world’s first satellite-based NB-IoT network.
This new technology supports India’s plan of bringing indigenous IoT connectivity to India’s core sectors.
This technology has already been tested successfully in Indian Railways, fishing vessels, and enabling connected vehicles across India.
A small, smart, incredibly rugged box, the Skylo ‘User Terminal’ interfaces with sensors and transmits data to the Skylo Network and into people’s hands.
