Viasat launches next-gen IoT Nano service
The new IoT Nano messaging service, developed in collaboration with ORBCOMM, enables remote monitoring and control of assets, even in the most remote and demanding environments. Viasat has unveiled its next-generation IoT Nano connectivity service, aimed at providing global two-way messaging capabilities across remote and hard-to-reach areas. Developed under its Enterprise business, part of the companys Communication Services segment, the new service addresses the growing global demand for low-power, low-data Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, particularly in industries such as agriculture, transportation, utilities, mining and environmental monitoring. Designed to operate in areas where traditional mobile networks are unavailable or unreliable, IoT Nano enables businesses to monitor and control fixed and mobile assets using Viasats global L-band satellite network. The service leverages ORBCOMMs new OGx satellite IoT platform, which builds on the legacy of the IsatData Pro (IDP) service but with significant enhancements in data speeds, message capacity, and hardware flexibility. Andy Kessler, Vice President, Enterprise and Land Mobile, Viasat, said: 'The IoT Nano service represents a significant advancement in providing flexible, scalable, and energy-efficient IoT connectivity to businesses operating in the most remote corners of the world. By leveraging the enhanced capabilities of the ORBCOMM OGx service and equipping our partner ecosystem with new low-cost modules and service capabilities, we are empowering customers with access to smarter data, more frequently, in more places, at a lower cost.' A key advantage of IoT Nano is its ability to deliver near real-time situational awareness and more detailed, actionable insights. The service continues to support the existing IDP mode, allowing current customers to maintain their setups while gaining access to enhanced performance through OGx. This dual-mode approach enables a smooth transition while enabling new, higher-value applications with reduced power usage and greater message throughput. The service also introduces substantial cost-saving potential by optimizing power consumption, which in turn allows for smaller, more affordable solar panels, batteries and enclosures. Viasat is offering full support to OEMs and solution providers through its ELEVATE partner programme, helping them to design and build custom terminals and devices using embedded third-party modules. This opens new doors for companies to tailor solutions to their unique data needs and expand into a broader set of IoT use cases. Dave Roscoe, President of Satellite IoT at ORBCOMM, added: 'OGx delivers faster speeds, larger messages, and lower power usage, all backed by ORBCOMMs proven terminals, network, and field support. We are excited to partner with Viasat to enable solution providers to build and scale IoT applications across industries including agriculture, transportation, maritime, oil and gas, heavy equipment, and mining. By lowering the cost and increasing the effectiveness of satellite connectivity, OGx makes it possible for our partners to enter new markets, expand use cases, and drive incremental growth.'
