Hiber is integrating its satellite-powered infrastructure with Swiss firm Loriot’s enterprise-grade LoRaWan management system.

Traditional satellite offerings often rely on proprietary protocols and costly hardware. In contrast, the Loriot-Hiber approach retains the familiar LoRaWan standard while extending its reach globally via satellite. This makes remote asset monitoring more affordable, scalable and easier to deploy by eliminating the typical barriers of high satellite costs and integration complexity.

“At Loriot, we believe that technology should be an enabler, not a limitation,” said Ingi Diego, business development manager at Loriot. “Our partnership with Hiber brings LoRaWan to the most remote corners of the world, making global IoT deployments not only possible but seamless. Together, we’re unlocking new frontiers for industries that rely on data from places where connectivity was once a dream.”

Simon Philipsen, managing director of Hiber, added: “With Loriot’s LoRaWan, we can gather data from hundreds of sensors through one or more gateways and deliver them instantly to our customers’ control rooms, no matter how remote their operations are. With Loriot, we can set up a reliable wireless network with redundancy that will help our clients reduce costly site visits, minimise maintenance and provide the insights they need to run safer operations.”

By partnering with Dutch firm Hiber, known for providing easy-to-integrate, end-to-end satellite IoT, Loriot hopes to strengthen its commitment to flexibility, interoperability and open ecosystems.

The joint offering delivers a seamless and proven path for users to gain visibility of critical assets in even the most remote areas. By moving from routine-based maintenance to accurate, real-time monitoring, organisations can make smarter, data-driven decisions anywhere there’s an internet connection.

Together, Loriot (www.loriot.io) and Hiber (hiber.global) are making it easier for organisations to access and act on critical data from remote operations, helping them stay informed, efficient and in control.

Satellite IoT is becoming vital, offering low-power, cost-effective connectivity directly from space. Unlike terrestrial networks, which only cover around 15 to 20% of the planet, satellite networks extend coverage to nearly the entire globe, opening up possibilities for large-scale IoT deployments in otherwise inaccessible areas.
