Satellite IoT
What is Satellite IoT Connectivity?
Satellite IoT refers to IoT (Internet of Things) services provided by networks of satellites. IoT enables interconnectivity between objects such that they can communicate and relay orders without requiring human-to-human or even human-to-computer interaction. This allows for hundreds of decisions and actions to be automated based on the data received from remote devices. Click here to read more.
