Australia-headquartered satellite IoT company Myriota has announced the general availability of what it says is the world’s first commercial 5G non-terrestrial network engineered for IoT.
The HyperPulse network is described as a global, highly scalable connectivity platform that makes it simple for industry partners to build, deploy and scale IoT solutions anywhere on Earth.
The network is available from the 15 December in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Myriota claims that customers in environmental monitoring, oil and gas monitoring, asset tracking and animal tracking are already connected to the network through its Early Access Programme.
HyperPulse is designed and operated by Myriota, combining the company’s 5G NTN architecture with L-band capacity leased from satcoms giant Viasat. The HyperPulse network’s optimisation layer allows connectivity performance – such as latency and data volumes – to be adjusted dynamically in response to customer demand or environmental conditions.
HyperPulse delivers lower latency and higher daily data allowances. These features enable applications where more detailed reporting and richer sensing are advantageous, including asset tracking and monitoring for heavy equipment, containers, rail cars and trailers; smart metering for utilities, and for environmental sensing for weather stations, soil, air and water quality monitoring; and animal management, including virtual fencing, feed optimisation and remote monitoring.
Myriota says the new network is built on 3GPP 5G NTN standards and leverages Viasat’s proven satellite infrastructure. It adds that HyperPulse offers seamless interoperability with a growing number of NTN-capable chipsets and devices.
HyperPulse is scheduled to expand NTN coverage across additional Latin American countries including Argentina, as well as Europe and Southeast Asia, in early 2026.
If some of this sounds familiar, it should. On 26 November we reported that Telkomsat, Indonesia’s leading satellite service provider, had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Myriota, paving the way for Myriota to offer its multi-band connectivity services and range of IoT enablement solutions in Indonesia, including the new HyperPulse 5G NTN service.
