What is Narrowband Satellite IoT?

Narrowband satellite IoT uses L-Band frequencies and low-power networks to transmit small data packets from simple devices. Unlike broadband satellite that requires powered terminals and clear sky views, narrowband devices operate for years on battery power, cost a fraction of broadband equipment, and work through partial obstructions.

This makes satellite IoT practical for applications that need to collect data from locations with no mobile coverage, no power infrastructure, and infrequent site access. Thousands of sensors across a vast operational area become economically viable when each device costs under $100 and data transmission costs cents per message.

Available Networks

Global L-Band Network

Two-way messaging with global coverage. Messages up to 340 bytes with delivery confirmation. Ideal for critical alerts, remote commands, and situations requiring acknowledgement.

Global coverage including polar regions
Two-way communication capability
Delivery confirmation

Best for: Critical alerts, two-way control, emergency communications

Industrial M2M Network

Purpose-built for industrial IoT applications. Optimised message sizes for telemetry and SCADA extension. Strong presence in mining, transport, and heavy industry.

Industrial-grade reliability
Optimised for telemetry data
Established network with proven track record

Best for: SCADA extension, fleet management, industrial monitoring

Australian LPWAN

Australian-developed low-power network optimised for high-volume, low-frequency sensor data. Ultra-low power consumption enables multi-year battery life. Lowest cost per message for suitable applications.

Australian-developed technology
Ultra-low power consumption
Multi-year battery life

Best for: High-volume, low-frequency sensors like water tanks, weather stations
