ORBCOMM has launched a channel programme for IoT solution providers, system integrators, value-added resellers and other channel partners to accelerate IoT solution development, expand market reach and take advantage of new opportunities.

The SKYWAVE Connect partner programme has been launched in select regions with a global roll-out to follow later this year.

The SKYWAVE Connect partner programme provides access to ORBCOMM’s IoT devices, multi-mode satellite and cellular connectivity services, development tools, and subscription-based pricing. Partners receive benefits and services including marketing support, sales and technical support, 24/7 multilingual multi-location support and professional services for device integration and solution deployment.

The programme features three tracks: Authorised Partner, Ascent Partner and Authorised Distributors. Authorised Partners receive access to ORBCOMM products and services, subscription-based pricing, technical support and marketing opportunities. The Ascent Partner track is designed for those with strong growth potential, and includes all Authorised Partner benefits, plus additional support and strategic investment, technical, sales and marketing support, and early access to new products. The Authorised Distributor track grants rights to distribute ORBCOMM devices and connectivity.

The SKYWAVE Connect partner programme is the first in a series of initiatives ORBCOMM will be rolling out in 2025 in the field of remote, low-power, mission-critical IoT applications.

Dave Roscoe, ORBCOMM’s President of Satellite IoT, SKYWAVE Connect said: “When our partners succeed, we succeed. SKYWAVE Connect provides them with tools, services and benefits that give them everything they need to build better low-data, high-reliability IoT solutions—faster and more efficiently—for their customers.”
