Demonstration of low-power IoT messages' transmission over Thuraya's satellite network has been successfully accomplished
This represents a major milestone in both companies' plan to deliver affordable connectivity, underpinning their commitment to drive innovation in the IoT sector
Abu Dhabi, UAE, 23 May 2023: In a pivotal breakthrough in the on-going efforts to create a favourable framework for the next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, Thuraya, the mobility arm of the UAE's flagship satellite solutions provider, Yahsat (ADX: YAHSAT) and eSAT Global today announced that they have successfully completed an over-the-air demonstration of low-latency, direct-to-satellite IoT texting system by transmitting low-power IoT messages over Thuraya's satellite network (Thuraya-2 Satellite  T2 ).
This milestone is the first of several milestones that Yahsat expects to achieve via its investment in eSAT Global and Thuraya's agreement with the company to develop a next-generation IoT platform. eSAT was able to send and receive messages of lengths of up to 320 characters over the T2 satellite with less transmission power (
