Globalstar, Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) and Tartabit have won the 2025 IoT Evolution Satellite Innovation Award for a platform that enables scalable, secure and intelligent IoT deployments across the terrestrial and non-terrestrial domains.
As IoT continues to expand across enterprise, industrial and service provider environments, platforms play a critical role in connecting devices, managing data and turning insight into action. This year’s award recipients have demonstrated leadership in enabling interoperability, simplifying deployment and supporting real-world IoT use cases on a global scale.
Together, Globalstar, G+D and Tartabit have combined their strengths to deliver a global multimode IoT connectivity platform that unified cellular and satellite networks into a single, seamless data ecosystem. Rather than requiring enterprises to manage separate hardware, SIMs and data pathways for different coverage scenarios, the platform simplifies deployment and operations across geographies.
The result is a single-stack, single-SKU that delivers intelligent and cost-effective connectivity anywhere on Earth: one module, one SIM, one data flow. By abstracting network complexity behind a unified architecture, organisations gain consistent device behaviour, centralised data management and predictable connectivity as assets move between terrestrial and satellite coverage zones. This approach reduces integration friction, accelerates time to deployment and enables scalable IoT strategies that are not constrained by infrastructure gaps.
This collaboration integrates:
- G+D’s secure SIM and global cellular connectivity, ensuring carrier-grade authentication and hybrid subscription management
- Globalstar’s RM200M multimode module, enabling switching between cellular and LEO satellite links
- Tartabit’s IoT Bridge, a cloud-ready data orchestration layer that normalises and delivers telemetry directly to enterprise cloud platforms
The collaboration between Globalstar (www.globalstar.com), G+D (www.gi-de.com) and Tartabit (www.tartabit.com) demonstrates innovation, scalability and a clear vision for how satellite IoT delivers measurable business value.
