HyperPulse™ Goes Live: Myriota Brings Satellite IoT Connectivity to Saudi Arabia and Beyond

Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota, highlighted that HyperPulse makes 5G non-terrestrial connectivity practical for IoT at scale, providing higher data allowances, lower latency, and standards-based coverage.

Myriota,  a global leader in space-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, has announced the General Availability of its HyperPulse™ network, a highly scalable platform designed to simplify the deployment and expansion of IoT solutions anywhere on Earth. Starting December 15, the network is available in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, with early access customers already using it for applications in environmental monitoring, oil and gas, asset tracking, and animal management.

HyperPulse combines Myriota’s 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) architecture with L-band capacity leased from Viasat. Its unique optimization layer allows dynamic adjustment of connectivity performance, including latency and data volume, based on customer needs and environmental conditions. The platform complements Myriota’s UltraLite™ service by offering lower latency and higher daily data allowances, enabling richer data collection and reporting for applications such as tracking heavy equipment, railcars, trailers, smart utility metering, environmental sensing, and animal management solutions like virtual fencing and remote monitoring.

The network is expected to expand its coverage across additional Latin American countries, including Argentina, as well as Europe and Southeast Asia, in early 2026. Built on 3GPP 5G NTN standards and leveraging Viasat’s satellite infrastructure, HyperPulse ensures interoperability with an increasing number of NTN-capable chipsets and devices. Myriota has already certified Nordic’s nRF9151 module for various use cases, with additional certifications planned for other modules.

To support IoT partners in integrating and developing solutions on HyperPulse, Myriota is also launching enablement products, beginning with the HyperPulse Developer Kit. This kit facilitates rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept validation in the field, offering a weatherproof enclosure, battery operation, and multiple sensor and interface options.

Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota, highlighted that HyperPulse makes 5G non-terrestrial connectivity practical for IoT at scale, providing higher data allowances, lower latency, and standards-based coverage. Early Access customer Luliia Sergeeva, CEO of Custodia in Saudi Arabia, noted that the network will transform animal tracking solutions, offering reliable, low-power satellite connectivity even in the country’s most remote areas, supporting both livestock management and wildlife conservation efforts.
