Australian satellite IoT firm Myriota has launched a hybrid 5G satellite and cellular IoT network delivering uninterrupted global connectivity.

Adding cellular connectivity to its HyperPulse 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) and AssetHawk asset tracker device creates a hybrid IoT network that delivers seamless satellite and cellular coverage.

By combining HyperPulse’s low-power satellite connectivity with support for cellular networks, Myriota is delivering a hybrid option designed and priced for industrial IoT at scale. The launch expands the company’s addressable market, enabling seamless tracking of assets moving between cellular coverage and remote, zero-cell environments, a segment long underserved by single-mode products. It also addresses the longstanding problem of making hybrid connectivity simple to deploy, manage and price.

HyperPulse routes each message automatically across cellular or satellite based on availability and configuration. It removes the need to manage separate satellite and cellular providers, contracts, and platforms. A single device on a single connectivity contract now covers the full operational geography of an asset, from urban logistics hubs to the most remote environments on Earth.

“For decades, vast numbers of remote and distributed operational assets have remained disconnected, not because the technology didn’t exist, but because the economics never worked,” said Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota (myriota.com). “HyperPulse changes that equation. For the first time, it’s commercially viable to connect almost any asset, anywhere, for less than a dollar per month. That’s not an incremental improvement. That’s a new market.”

Satellite IoT has historically served the most remote use cases. Adding cellular changes the economics for a far broader asset class: trailers moving along transport corridors, generators rotating between sites, containers transitioning through ports before moving inland, as well as distributed infrastructure where assets are permanently split between connected and remote locations. These assets spend only part of their working life outside terrestrial coverage, enough to need satellite, but not enough to justify satellite-only economics. HyperPulse now serves them.

Myriota designed, built and operates the HyperPulse network. Compliant to 3GPP Release 17 standards and compatible with a growing ecosystem of standards-based silicon, HyperPulse delivers coverage across the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia, with more markets due to launch this year. Adding cellular lowers the blended cost per message by seamlessly routing to the most cost-effective network.

AssetHawk, Myriota’s ruggedised, battery-powered asset tracker, is the first device purpose-built to enable deployments on the hybrid HyperPulse network. Designed as an integration-ready device, it includes BLE sensor integration, effectively turning a single tracker into a localised sensor hub. AssetHawk provides a low-cost foundation for partners to build and deploy industrial IoT at scale.

This launch supports Myriota’s mission to connect the physical world for impact. By extending HyperPulse with hybrid connectivity, Myriota strengthens its infrastructure layer and advances its position as a global platform for physical world intelligence. As more assets become continuously connected across terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, organisations can generate richer operational insight and turn physical world data into action and measurable impact.

Hybrid connectivity across HyperPulse and AssetHawk will be available later this month.
