Breaking Ground in IoT Connectivity Beyond Terrestrial Networks: Compal and Viasat Pave the Way for a New Era in Satellite IoT Technology
As global IoT technology rapidly advances, the demand for data connectivity in remote and extreme environments is on the rise. Traditional terrestrial communication networks have limited coverage in remote areas, and satellite technology provides a crucial solution to this challenge. Compal intends to utilize advanced Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology to provide stable, low-powered connectivity services to IoT devices, overcoming the limitations of terrestrial base station coverage.
The APAL Hestia NTN IoT Dongle is specifically designed for satellite IoT applications, supporting two-way satellite communication, compliant with 3GPP Release 17 standards, and capable of delivering global coverage through Viasat’s satellite network. It can be applied in industries such as logistics, agriculture, energy management, and environmental monitoring, offering businesses a more flexible and reliable data connectivity solution for revolutionary changes.
Expanding Global Market Influence through Viasat’s ELEVATE Marketplace
By joining the Viasat ELEVATE Marketplace, Compal will expand our exposure to new markets, accelerating the promotion of innovative technology applications. The ELEVATE Marketplace will provide a platform for Compal to reach a broader global market and expand its presence in the satellite IoT field.
Eric Peng, Executive Vice President at Compal, “We are confident in our collaboration with Viasat. Our satellite IoT solutions will enable more efficient and comprehensive services for customers worldwide and access to the ELEVATE Market place will help to expand the reach of those solutions. This collaboration not only means technology innovation but also opens up new business opportunities for Compal.”
