Australian firm Myriota has added four LEO satellites to bolster IoT connectivity.

Launched on the SpaceX Transporter-13 mission, the nanosatellites bring the total added so far this year to eight, boosting resilience, enhancing service capacity and expanding geographic coverage.

Thea satellites have been added to the UltraLite LEO constellation, in partnership with space infrastructure provider Spire. These nanosatellites are in the process of being onboarded following their launch on March 14 on SpaceX’s Transporter-13 mission, with more launches set to expand the constellation throughout the rest of the year.

Earlier this year, Myriota onboarded four additional LEO nanosatellites launched on SpaceX’s Transporter-12 mission in January. These satellites expanded its global IoT constellation, unlocking markets across Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and the Middle East.

The latest four satellites bolster Myriota’s UltraLite LEO constellation, strengthening its global IoT connectivity options, which includes a 3GPP aligned HyperPulse (myriota.com/hyperpulse-5g) GEO satellite service. The combination allows Myriota to service a broad spectrum of IoT sensor use cases around the globe, with performance, capacity and coverage requirements tailored to individual users, from the most power limited, deployment challenged customers to those seeking seamless terrestrial to non-terrestrial network (NTN) roaming.

The expanded capacity provided by the satellites will ensure Myriota users in industries such as logistics, utilities and agriculture can securely monitor and collect data globally using long-lasting and low-cost IoT sensors. Its customers and partners around the world are already tracking, locating and monitoring assets including water tanks, vehicles, wind turbines, shipping containers, and equipment and tools.

“We are maintaining a regular cadence of satellite launches, adding ever more capacity, coverage and resilience to our UltraLite constellation of LEO satellites as we invest in continuous upgrading of our service offerings,” said Myriota CEO Ben Cade. “Our networks can now support tens of millions of IoT connections around the globe, ensuring access to low-power, cost effective sensor networks to more countries and industries, ready for our partners to further expand their deployments in 2025 and 2026.”

The ongoing growth of the UltraLite (myriota.com/myriota-ultralite) global network is a key component of Myriota’s mission to deliver a flexible and comprehensive IoT connectivity platform. It has more than a decade of experience in delivering high security, power efficient direct-to-satellite IoT, with millions of data messages received from real world sensor devices.

As a specialist in low-cost satellite connectivity, it is leveraging its space-as-a-service partner network to operate a cost-effective, highly redundant constellation. By complementing its own satellites with the assets of partners including Spire and Viasat, Myriota (myriota.com) says it can deliver reliable, secure IoT connectivity services backed by a robust space infrastructure.
