Skylo Partners With Syniverse to Implement SMS Over Satellite for Verizon
Collaboration offers satellite connectivity beyond emergency services, enabling native SMS messaging over satellite for Verizon customers.
Using Keysight's unique and first-to-market NTN Device Acceptance Solutions, the certification plan will validate NB-IoT NTN chipsets, modules and devices for use on Skylo's network.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. and Skylo Technologies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) extending Keysight's cellular testing expertise to non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) by using Skylo's test cases to create a certification program for 3GPP 5G Release 17 (Rel-17) NTN chipsets, modules and devices using narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) protocol over NTN.
The use of 5G satellite-to-ground connections is rapidly gaining traction as mobile operators and their customers look to extend secure, reliable and high-bandwidth connectivity across their entire geographical footprint and surrounding waters. Widespread NTN deployments can enable industries such as agriculture, energy, healthcare and transportation by using low-cost and low-powered NB-IoT devices for applications including remote sensing, asset tracking and surveillance.
