Telefonica Spain, Sateliot team on 5G NTN services
Telefonica Spain and Barcelona-based Sateliot have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks with terrestrial 5G standalone deployments, moving NTN from standards discussion into active deployment planning. Built on the 3GPP Release 17 NTN standard and validated through a 2023 ESA-supervised interoperability test, the partnership targets defense, industrial IoT, maritime, and critical infrastructure sectors. The hybrid architecture supports unmodified NB-IoT devices connecting directly via LEO satellite, lowering enterprise adoption barriers and establishing a replicable model for operator-satellite collaboration across the telecom industry.

Deutsche Telekom multi‑orbit IoT roaming

Deutsche Telekom multi‑orbit IoT roaming
Deutsche Telekom’s launch of seamless IoT roaming across terrestrial, GEO, and LEO networks signals a practical turning point for standards‑based satellite IoT at global scale. Multi‑orbit roaming blends the strengths of geostationary (always‑on footprint, predictable links) with low‑earth orbit (lower latency, better high‑latitude reach) and terrestrial cellular to keep devices online where traditional networks fall short. The service has been validated on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151—billed as the first 3GPP‑compliant cellular IoT module to support terrestrial NB‑IoT/LTE‑M and NB‑NTN over both GEO and LEO—which matters for total cost of ownership and speed to scale.

Telefónica to connect IoT devices via satellite with 5G technology

Telefónica to connect IoT devices via satellite with 5G technology
> Telefónica Tech and Telefónica Global Solutions (TGS) divisions, is testing Sateliot's solution to develop an innovative dual 5G NB-IoT connectivity service that integrates the satellite network with existing terrestrial networks to provide IoT connectivity wherever the customer needs it.
> The new service would extend the coverage of current terrestrial NB-IoT networks to remote areas providing connectivity over 100% of the territory and would be compatible with current NB-IoT devices available on the market.
> The first pre-commercial customer pilots are planned for the end of the year.
