Myriota adds cellular to HyperPulse for hybrid IoT coverage

Myriota has expanded its HyperPulse 5G non-terrestrial network with cellular connectivity and launched a hybrid asset tracker to help industrial customers monitor assets across both connected and remote environments. The rollout aims to cut deployment complexity and extend satellite IoT economics to a much larger market.

Why it matters: - The hybrid network is built to track industrial assets that move between cellular coverage and remote areas without switching devices, contracts or platforms. - Myriota is targeting use cases that spend part of their life outside terrestrial coverage but not enough to justify satellite-only pricing. - The launch could broaden satellite IoT beyond extreme-remote applications and lower the cost to monitor distributed fleets at scale.

What happened: - Myriota added cellular connectivity to HyperPulse 5G NTN and to the AssetHawk tracker. - The company announced the hybrid IoT network on July 1, 2026, in Adelaide, Australia. - Hybrid connectivity across HyperPulse and AssetHawk will be available later this month.

The details: - HyperPulse automatically routes each message over cellular or satellite based on availability and configuration. - The setup is designed and priced for industrial IoT at scale. - A single device on one connectivity contract can cover an asset from urban logistics hubs to remote environments. - HyperPulse is compliant with 3GPP Release 17 and works with a growing ecosystem of standards-based silicon. - Coverage currently spans the US, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia. - More markets are due to launch this year. - Hybrid data plans start at USD $0.99 per device per month. - Myriota says the blended cost per message falls because traffic can move to the most cost-effective network. - AssetHawk is a ruggedized, battery-powered tracker built for the hybrid HyperPulse network. - AssetHawk includes BLE sensor integration, turning the device into a localized sensor hub for solution providers. - The company says AssetHawk is a low-cost foundation for industrial IoT deployments and offers the lowest total cost of ownership for a hybrid tracker in the market.

Between the lines: - Myriota is trying to remove one of the biggest blockers in hybrid IoT: the operational hassle of mixing satellite and cellular services. - The pricing strategy suggests Myriota wants to compete on mass deployment economics, not just on coverage. - ABI Research forecasts NTN-based IoT connections will rise from 2.08 million in 2024 to nearly 14 million by 2032, a 26.9% CAGR. - Myriota is positioning itself for that growth as satellite and cellular connectivity converge.

What's next: - Myriota plans to expand HyperPulse into additional markets later this year. - Partners and customers can begin using the hybrid HyperPulse and AssetHawk offering later this month. - More details are available at the company's announcement.

The bottom line: - Myriota is turning satellite IoT into a hybrid connectivity product that can follow assets wherever they operate, which could make always-on tracking practical for far more industrial customers.
