Skylo Sets Sights on Asia and Certifies Samsung Exynos 2500 as Analysys Mason Hails Turning Point for Satellite D2D
An upcoming global report by Analysys Mason, ' MNOs and OEMs Need to Adopt Satellite D2D Now,' highlights satellite Direct-to-Device (D2D) as a strategic imperative for MNOs and OEMs and recognizes Skylo for offering the 'most stable and reliable service.' It noted that competing solutions still suffer from 'significant availability gaps' and detailed the regulatory challenges they face wherein 'each country must issue specific licenses for space-based use of terrestrial spectrum, and each individual operator must navigate complex coordination to avoid interference with ground-based services. These constraints can delay deployments and limit scalability.' Skylo's differentiated approach utilizes existing, globally allocated frequency bands that are already in place allowing for expansive, commercially available service today. OEMs, in particular, should note 'the trade-offs in terms of interference, regulatory complexity, device compatibility, technology, and time to market' with competing approaches. Skylo yields 'a head start in service availability, allowing operators to move early with emergency and messaging services while building user trust and brand value.' The full report will be available on the Analysis Mason website on Wednesday.
'As demand for resilient, ubiquitous connectivity continues to grow, Asia is a natural next step as a focus for Skylo—home to technology powerhouses shaping the future of connected experiences,' says Parthsarathi Trivedi, CEO and co-founder of Skylo. 'Our standards-based approach, which leverages existing MSS spectrum, allows MNOs and device manufacturers to quickly come to market with commercially available satellite services that are saving lives without requiring MNOs to wait on additional regulatory approval. By enabling devices to stay connected wherever they are, we're helping power the next generation of digital transformation.'
Key milestones in Asia as OEMs adopt Skylo's approach for satellite connectivity:
Samsung Semiconductor
Following more than a year of joint research and collaboration, Skylo and Samsung were able to certify the Exynos Modem 5400 in mid 2024, unlocking satellite D2D connectivity to high-volume flagship Android smartphones on Skylo's network. Today, we are excited to announce the certification of the Exynos 2500 mobile processor, offering better energy efficiency and higher performance. 'Samsung's partnership with Skylo is built upon 3GPP NTN standards to unlock connectivity everywhere. Through our collaboration on the Samsung Exynos Modem 5400 and the Exynos 2500 mobile processor, mainstream devices worldwide will now have the underlying technology to connect to satellites wherever cellular networks are unavailable, ushering in a new era of ubiquitous connectivity,' said Hui Won Je, VP of Modem Development Team at Samsung Electronics.
OPPO
Skylo is excited to announce a new partnership with OPPO, the global smart device manufacturer with a strong presence in APAC, Europe, India, the Middle East and LATAM. The two companies are working closely to provide OPPO devices that can help MNOs test the Skylo service as an extension of their existing terrestrial network. "OPPO is an innovation-driven brand, and our partnership with Skylo unlocks the next generation of NTN standards-based satellite connectivity for smartphones," said Yang Xia, Head of Global Strategic Partnership and Carrier Management, OPPO.
Tecno (a brand of Transsion) & Mlink
Skylo is excited to announce a partnership with Tecno (a brand of Transsion) and Mlink for NTN capable smartphones. Tecno is developing devices with the Mlink MS210 chipset that will be able to support E-SOS and SMS over Skylo's NTN service. 'The Mlink MS210 chipset is Skylo certified, and is optimized for mainstream consumer smartphones. We are excited to support the upcoming Tecno launch,' said Zhiping An, Co-Founder, Mlink.
HARMAN Automotive satellite connectivity
Skylo's work with HARMAN, a Samsung company, showcases enhanced automotive emergency services, including bidirectional emergency messaging directly from the HARMAN Ready Connect telematics control unit (TCU) which will now be able to send emergency alerts and receive real-time updates when out of cellular coverage. "HARMAN Ready Connect is the world's first TCU product to showcase Skylo's NTN connectivity with the Qualcomm SA522M/525M chipset in an all-in-one integrated TCU form factor. We are excited to partner with Skylo to enable ubiquitous automotive connectivity using next generation satellite-based technology on a global scale," said Suman Sehra, Global VP, Connectivity Portfolio Management, HARMAN International.
LG Electronics
Skylo has partnered with LG to bring scale, reliability, and ease of integration to the automotive industry for safety, diagnostics, and emergency services. "At the 5G Automotive Association event in Paris last month, we worked with Skylo to demonstrate AI-based voice recognition combined with satellite connectivity to showcase the next generation of emergency response services for the automotive segment," said Sung-Ryong Hong, Research Fellow, LG Electronics.
China Device Ecosystem
Skylo is pleased to announce the availability of its NTN service to Multibyte customers in Skylo-covered regions, supported by the Fuzhou IoT OTT messaging platform for P2P messaging. "Multibyte is looking forward to enabling China OEMs and other customers with a global solution combining cellular and Skylo NTN services," said Jim Yang, Director of Multibyte. "Fuzhou IoT is working closely with China OEMs and Multibyte to enable out-of-the-box NTN-based messaging for smartphones and other cellular devices. We are proud to announce that Blackview, our first customer, is launching their Skylo NTN-enabled ruggedized smartphones for the European market in the coming quarter," said Geng Yan, Director of Fuzhou IoT.

LINEAGE INVESTOR ALERT: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Lineage, Inc. and Announces Opportunity for Investors with Substantial Losses to Lead the Lineage Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers of Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock in or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with Lineage's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'), have until September 30, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. Captioned City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System v. Lineage, Inc., No. 25-cv-12383 (E.D. Mich.), the Lineage class action lawsuit charges Lineage and certain of its top executives, directors, IPO underwriters, and IPO sponsor with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: CASE ALLEGATIONS: Lineage is a Maryland REIT focused on temperature-controlled cold-storage facilities. In the July 2024 IPO, Lineage sold over 65 million shares of Lineage common stock to investors at $78 per share, raising more than $5 billion in gross offering proceeds. The Lineage class action lawsuit alleges that the registration statement was false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, Lineage's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Lineage's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (ii) Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing Lineage; (iii) Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed above through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (iv) as a result, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the registration statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (v) consequently, Lineage's financial results, business operations, and prospects were materially impaired. Since the IPO, the price of Lineage stock has fallen to lows near $40 per share. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of the filing of the complaint. The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has extensive experience in prosecuting investor class actions including actions involving financial fraud. You can view a copy of the complaint by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Lineage common stock in or traceable to the registration statement issued in connection with Lineage's IPO to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lineage class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Lineage class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Lineage class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Lineage class action lawsuit. ABOUT ROBBINS GELLER: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP is one of the world's leading law firms representing investors in securities fraud and shareholder litigation. Our Firm has been ranked #1 in the ISS Securities Class Action Services rankings for four out of the last five years for securing the most monetary relief for investors.
