Myriota to Expand its Global Satellite
Constellation and Achieve Near Real-Time Connectivity Through
Spire’s Space-as-a-Service Capabilities
Spire Global, Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) (“Spire” or “the Company”), a
leading global provider of space-based data, analytics, and space
services, today announced a partnership with Myriota, a
world-leading provider of secure, low-cost, and long battery life
satellite connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT). The
partnership will leverage Spire Space Services to accelerate
Myriota’s global service deployment timeline, expanding the Myriota
Network using Spire low-earth orbit nanosatellites. Myriota is the
first large-scale, commercial, IoT-focused customer of Spire.
Myriota will use Spire's existing satellite platform and
continue to scale the Myriota Network as Spire deploys new
satellites. Spire and Myriota plan to quickly ramp up Myriota’s
coverage to a global, low latency constellation, expanding
Myriota’s existing coverage in North America, Australia and New
Zealand to other markets, including Europe. By leveraging Spire’s
proven constellation and global operations platform, Myriota
expects to quickly and cost-effectively scale its IoT services to
meet rising global demand.
Spire’s constellation of low-earth orbit nanosatellites is
equipped with a range of software-defined radios (SDR) that let
partners test, deploy, operate, and scale custom applications.
Myriota expects this landmark partnership to allow it to expand its
network more quickly in more areas, and to improve latency using
existing spacecraft.
The Myriota Network enables customers in industries like
logistics, utilities, and agriculture to securely monitor and
collect data globally using its long-lasting and low-cost IoT
sensors. Myriota customers are already tracking, locating, and
monitoring assets including vehicles, wind turbines, equipment and
tools, and shipping containers. The new partnership will support
reduced latency and new services.
“We’re proud our satellites and technology are ready to
seamlessly help Myriota make smart devices more accessible to
everyone,” said Theresa Condor, Executive Vice President, General
Manager of Space Services and Earth Intelligence at Spire.
“Australia is a hotbed of innovative companies, and it’s gratifying
to help a leading satellite connectivity provider go to market
quickly and scale up efficiently.”
“With high demand for the Myriota Network from our partners, who
are rolling out products at an ever-accelerating rate, this
agreement is a game changer for our business,” said Dr. David
Haley, CTO and Co-founder, Myriota. “By leveraging Spire’s
constellation, Myriota will rapidly improve its services, and enter
new markets such as Europe. Spire is a perfect partner for
extending our global reach.”
