The next step in IoT Satellite Communication (Part 1)
Thomas Fesquet – Cavli Wireless 
Jan Willem Smeenk – Sodaq

As IoT applications grow beyond the limits of terrestrial networks, satellite communication is becoming the next major step. We will explore the different types of satellite constellations — including Low Earth Orbit and Geostationary Orbit networks — that are enabling global IoT coverage. We will discuss the communication technologies involved, explain the concept of latency and its impact on IoT performance, and compare the different solutions. A key focus will be the costs associated with satellite IoT and the trade-offs between speed, coverage, and pricing. Attendees will gain insight into how satellite technology is reshaping the future of connected devices worldwide.
