Always Connected, Anywhere: Multi-year battery life for cellular IoT and Skylo NB-NTN, with the Altair ALT1350

This white paper examines how the Altair ALT1350 chipset, certified by Skylo, brings multi-year battery life to cellular IoT devices utilizing NB-IoT non-terrestrial networking (NB-NTN) over satellite. It features the first published power profile on a live commercial network, demonstrating that the energy cost for small satellite uplinks is on the same order of magnitude as terrestrial edge connections. By eliminating the historical power penalty of satellite connectivity, this architecture enables seamless, global coverage for field IoT applications using a single design and battery.
