Overview

The Global Satellite IoT Connectivity Tracker & Forecast provides a comprehensive view of the satellite IoT market, with historical connections from 2020 to 2026 and a forecast from 2027 to 2032. It offers a nested view of connections by operator, technology, orbit, spectrum and application, to help assess market growth, competitive dynamics and the shift from proprietary to standards-based satellite connectivity.

What the Full Report Will Cover

The tracker covers 15+ satellite IoT operators, including Iridium, Skylo, Globalstar, Viasat, ORBCOMM, Myriota, Sateliot, OQ Technology, Kinéis, Thuraya, EchoStar Mobile, Lacuna Space and Astrocast.

Technology coverage includes 3GPP NB-NTN, 3GPP NR-NTN, LoRa-NTN and proprietary satellite IoT, with analysis by orbit and spectrum band.

Application analysis spans nine segments: logistics, agriculture, oil and gas, maritime, connected cars, construction, energy and utilities, government and defence, and other IoT (mining, environment and others).

The tracker provides historical data from 2020 to 2026 and forecasts from 2027 to 2032.
