Space-based Asset Tracking: Low Cost, No Roaming

Until now, satellite-based IoT has been significantly more expensive than cellular networks—but that's changing. EchoStar Mobile leverages LoRa technology for direct satellite communication, drastically cutting connectivity costs and eliminating the need for roaming. This enables seamless tracking of assets and individuals, ensuring personal safety even in the most remote, off-grid locations.

This timely and unique session will examine the growing need for low-cost satellite connectivity for location-based services and the challenges this presents, including addressing the following questions: 

• What is the market potential for integrating satellite and terrestrial networks for asset tracking? 
• Why is LoRaWAN now a major opportunity for satellite connectivity?
• Can satellite IoT connectivity really deliver low cost?
• What is the impact of eliminating roaming for international tracking?
• Are smartphones part of the real time asset tracking solution? 
• What are the form factor and power consumption constraints using satellite?
• Which applications are already benefiting from low-cost satellite connectivity? 

This event will assist enterprises, product manufacturers and service providers to meet their IoT business objectives and will also include real world deployment examples.
