The demand for cellular global reach is escalating, particularly for IoT applications. Satellite-compatible solutions can bridge that gap.

On this front, u-blox recently launched its first combined 3GPP-compliant terrestrial and non-terrestrial network (NTN) IoT module, the SARA-S528NM10. The standards-based module supports GNSS global coverage with accurate, low-power, and concurrent positioning for IoT use cases. Such application areas include aftermarket telematics, industrial monitoring and control, smart metering and utilities, and fleet management.
