This contract will bring the total number of satellites deployed by Spire Space Services for Myriota to over 40.
Spire Global has announced an expanded Space Services agreement with Myriota to design, build and operate 16 satellites with enhanced second-generation payloads for the IoT provider.
These new launches will see Myriota’s IoT connectivity become operational across 40+ satellites. Since initially partnering in 2021, Myriota has scaled its IoT connectivity platform rapidly and cost-effectively by deploying its network software on Spire satellites that are optimised to host and run Myriotas advanced network in space. With this agreement, Myriota is expanding into satellite hardware in space through Spire Space Services.
Commenting on the agreement, Theresa Condor, CEO of Spire Global, said: “In a world where IoT connectivity is increasingly crucial, satellites and space technology are more than just tools; they are foundational to the future of global communication networks. As Myriota’s constellation grows, so does our collaboration with them, expanding from software to hardware with payloads that address the critical gaps in IoT communication. With Spire Space Services, we are thrilled to continue our long-term work with Myriota in reimagining how the world connects.”
The expansion of Myriotas global space infrastructure will allow for more scalable and reliable IoT connectivity for smart devices worldwide. Myriota customers will have enhanced security, faster data access, reduced latency, and improved device control and firmware updating capabilities.
Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota, added: “Across sectors from agriculture and water to logistics, satellite-connected IoT sensors offer unparalleled insights into operations and are driving dramatic improvements in operational efficiency. At Myriota, we are working with customers around the globe delivering ultra-low power networks, with sensor battery lives measured in years. We are delighted to be working with Spire to further extend our network to help more industries, in more countries, gain critical intelligence from the field, and apply this to deliver better outcomes for industry, society and the planet.”
