Advancing Satellite IoT: Creative5 and Sateliot Collaboration
In a significant stride towards enhancing IoT functionalities, Creative5, a pioneering innovator in satellite technology, has joined forces with Sateliot, a leader in LEO satellite connectivity. The two companies will showcase their collaborative efforts at the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) in Barcelona from November 3rd to 5th, 2026. The initiative is set to revolutionize how enterprises assess IoT applications in regions with limited terrestrial coverage.
The Power of HESTIA Plus
Creative5 brings its renowned HESTIA Plus devices to the collaboration. This system is designed to facilitate seamless connectivity for IoT applications both on land and via satellite. With HESTIA Plus, users can expect enhanced system integration capabilities that are crucial for effective and reliable operation in various environments. The device is engineered to handle the nuances of remote connectivity, thereby allowing businesses to make the most of their IoT strategies.
Sateliot complements this offering by providing 3GPP standards-based NB-IoT non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity. This means that enterprises will have the ability to utilize satellite IoT in a manner that adheres to existing cellular standards, making deployment more straightforward and efficient.
Targeted Applications and Field Evaluations
The collaboration spots initial prospects primarily in sectors such as smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, water management, and monitoring remote infrastructure. By engaging directly with solution providers and enterprise clients, Creative5 and Sateliot will work together to identify specific application requirements and facilitate field evaluations under real-world conditions.
In addition to defining the specific needs of enterprises, the companies will oversee aspects such as device and network integration and technical readiness. The aim is to create a comprehensive evaluation process that outlines not only the performance criteria but also the compliance with local regulations and project specifications.
A Structured Route to Implementation
Jennifer Chang, CMO and GM of the SATCOM Business Unit at Creative5, emphasized the importance of clarity in satellite IoT deployments. She noted, “Enterprise customers need a clear understanding of how satellite IoT can support their operations beyond terrestrial coverage. By combining HESTIA Plus with Sateliot's standards-based connectivity, we aim to help customers evaluate real-world performance and make informed deployment decisions.”
Gianluca Redolfi, Chief Business Officer of Sateliot, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Our partnership with Creative5 gives customers a practical avenue to assess how HESTIA Plus can connect assets that fall outside conventional coverage areas. This prepares suitable applications for scalable deployment, aligning with industry standards.”
