The 3rd generation Altair ALT1350 is a highly integrated wireless 5G Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) System-on-Chip (SoC) designed to meet the evolving needs of the cellular IoT market. Supporting 3GPP release 15/16/17 LTE-M/NB-IoT, this is the world’s first cellular IoT SoC that combines unlicensed spectrum communications protocols, satellite connectivity (NTN), and cellular connectivity in a single solution. By integrating these advanced features, the ALT1350 delivers faster development, lower power consumption, smaller form factors, and reduced costs, making it an ideal fit for a wide range of IoT use cases.

​The Notecard for Skylo is a streamlined, all-in-one data solution featuring a single SKU that integrates global cellular (LTE Cat M, 2G, 3G) with native NTN satellite capabilities. It provides a seamless upgrade path for Narrowband users by offering automatic satellite failover through a consistent, JSON-based API. This plug-and-play module eliminates the need for secondary hardware, delivering reliable uplink and downlink data over Skylo’s satellite network right out of the box.

Starnote for Skylo is a high-value satellite IoT accessory designed to provide affordable backup connectivity for any Notecard-based design. It expands your device’s reach to Skylo’s NTN satellite network using the same developer-friendly JSON semantics as the rest of the Blues ecosystem. By removing the burden of high hardware costs and monthly standby fees, Starnote makes satellite RAT (Radio Access Technology) accessible for large-scale deployments requiring ubiquitous global coverage.
