Telkomsat, an Indonesia-based telecommunications company, has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Myriota, an Australian satellite Internet of Things (IoT) provider. This strategic partnership intends to broaden the reach of satellite-supported IoT services throughout Indonesia and the wider ASEAN region. The signing ceremony took place in Jakarta, with the participation of representatives from both entities and officials from the South Australian government.
The core objective of this collaboration is to bolster Telkomsat’s satellite solutions offerings and reinforce its multi-orbit strategy. The partnership will emphasize IoT deployment in critical sectors, including maritime, oil and gas, agriculture, and environmental and disaster monitoring. These sectors require reliable, low-power connectivity for operations in remote and challenging-to-access areas.
Myriota, under the terms of the agreement, will bring its multiband satellite connectivity services to Indonesia. This includes the HyperPulse 5G NTN service, which leverages Viasat’s dynamic leasing capability on its L-band network. This allows the adjustment of connectivity performance like latency and data availability according to geographic and environmental conditions. Additionally, Myriota will launch its LEO-based UltraLite service designed to provide secure, energy-efficient, and spectrum-efficient connectivity for low-power IoT applications.
CEO of Myriota, Ben Cade believes that this partnership brings together Telkomsat’s vast regional experience and Myriota’s globally-leading satellite IoT technology. Together, they will create scalable IoT solutions that cater to the needs of Indonesia’s critical industries.
Adding to this sentiment, South Australian Minister Joe Szakacs noted that this partnership will connect Myriota’s world-leading technology with one of the world’s fastest-growing economic regions, Southeast Asia.
Both companies have expressed plans to cooperate on market development, customer acquisition, ecosystem building, and initiatives aimed at enhancing the adoption of satellite IoT solutions across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
What is the objective of the collaboration between Telkomsat and Myriota?
The collaboration aims to expand satellite-enabled IoT services across Indonesia and the ASEAN region. It also aims to strengthen Telkomsat’s satellite solutions portfolio and support its multi-orbit strategy.
What sectors will the partnership focus on?
The partnership will focus on IoT deployments in key sectors including maritime, oil and gas, agriculture, and environmental and disaster monitoring.
What new services will Myriota introduce to Indonesia?
