• Demand for mobile bandwidth continually increases
• Global connectivity must become ubiquitous
• Mobile spectrum and availability is limited
• Security is compromised on terrestrial networks
• Space is the next frontier for capacity
• The satellite industry is poised for change
• New LEO constellations are attracting significant investments
Kymeta provides a scalable solution with its smart antenna.

IoT is short for Internet of Things.Ever-growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity, and the communication that occurs between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems.IoT Extends Internet Connectivity.The Internet of Things extends internet connectivity beyond traditional devices like desktop and laptop computers, smartphones and tablets to a diverse range of devices and everyday things that utilize embedded technology to communicate and interact with the external environment, all via the Internet.
IoT – What Is It?
©2016 Kymeta Corporation.05/03/2023 16
• Business Insider predicts 35 Billion connected devices by 2020
• Companies use data to drive operational efficiencies, creating a global demand for data (McKinsey)
• Only 60% of the population is covered by 4G/LTE (OpenSignal) Satellite must play a role in IoT
• Satellite is thought of as expensive and hard to access
IoT is Going Mobile

• Connected cargo and goods management
• Mobile construction site administration
• Streamline process and increase cost efficiencies in
implementing software updates for vehicle OEMs
• Improve mining industry communications and lower
overall cost of communications in remote areas
• Video monitoring in oil, gas and energy
• Fully integrated solution across land, sea and air cargo
and freight fleets
