As more IoT deployments move into remote and hard-to-reach environments, satellite-based connectivity is becoming a vital part of the solution—especially as terrestrial networks fall short. This whitepaper explores the competitive dynamics and technical considerations shaping the future of satellite IoT, including the rising role of IoT-NTN and LoRa NTN technologies.

Key Takeaways Include:

  • IoT-NTN vs. LoRa NTN: How coverage, cost, and power efficiency drive technology choice—LoRa excels in cost-sensitive use cases; IoT-NTN dominates for mobile, hybrid, and high-value assets.

  • Forecasts & Growth Trends: IoT-NTN connections are expected to grow 7x by 2032, outpacing LoRa with a projected 27% CAGR.

  • Shifting Competitive Landscape: Legacy operators like Iridium and Globalstar are expanding into standards-based, hybrid offerings—challenging smaller, dedicated startups.

  • Strategic Guidance: Recommendations for satellite operators, MVNOs, and MNOs on how to evaluate partnerships, scale services, and compete in hybrid markets.

  • Company Spotlights: Insight into strategies from key players including Sateliot, EchoStar, Lacuna Space, OQ Technology, and Starlink.
