New York-based IoT software platform Blynk is working with Myriota, a pioneer in direct-to-satellite connectivity, to make it easier for businesses to deploy IoT devices in remote and offline environments.

The partnership between Blynk and Australian firm Myriota strengthens Blynk’s position as a software platform for satellite-enabled IoT deployments. As more businesses look to extend operations into remote and hard-to-reach areas, this integration combines Myriota’s satellite connectivity and Blynk’s intuitive, hardware-agnostic platform, for use in industries such as agriculture, mining, water management, tank monitoring, heavy equipment and government.

“This partnership marks one of the many steps we’re taking to make Blynk the leading IoT software platform for satellite connections,” said Iryna Liashchuk, co-CEO at Blynk. “Businesses using Myriota-enabled devices can now manage users and devices, store and visualise data, and build modern apps in minutes, without writing a single line of code.”

Nicole Russo, vice president at Myriota, added: “At Myriota, we’re focused on delivering secure, scalable and affordable satellite connectivity to solve real-world problems. Partnering with Blynk means our customers will be able to bring their applications online faster, without the burden of custom backend development or complex cloud integrations.”

Myriota specialises in low cost satellite connectivity, leveraging its space-as-a-service partner network to operate a cost-effective, highly redundant constellation. The company has more than a decade of experience in delivering high security, power efficient direct-to-satellite IoT, with millions of data messages received from real world sensor devices.

Myriota’s global customer base in industries such as logistics, utilities and agriculture are securely monitoring and collecting data using long-lasting and low-cost IoT sensors, allowing them to track, locate and monitor assets including water tanks, vehicles, wind turbines, shipping containers, and equipment and tools.

For Myriota customers, the Blynk platform offers a fast track to deploying connected products and services, complete with enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure, device and user management, and modern mobile and web dashboards. With everything already built in, teams can focus on delivering impact instead of stitching together the basics.

The integration launching in the coming weeks will further simplify Myriota device onboarding and data flow. Businesses interested in early access can join the waitlist at blynk.io/contact-us-business?myriota.
