• Hybrid satellite IoT networks outperform terrestrial deployments

  Industrial enterprises are turning to hybrid satellite IoT networks to eliminate operational blind spots in terrestrial-only networks. Operational technology directors and supply chain executives have long managed two distinct connectivity stacks: cellular for urban or developed areas, and satellite for remote regions. This bifurcation required separate hardware, distinct contracts, and often incompatible data standards. Direct-to-Device […]

• WBA: Why connectivity strategies for smart MDUs matter

  According to the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), connectivity strategies for smart MDUs now favour fully-managed models to mitigate interference and security risks. Facility directors and network architects face operational parallels between modern high-rises and industrial plants. Both manage high device density, legacy cabling constraints, and the need to secure granular access for diverse stakeholders. The […]
