FAQs

Myriota HyperPulse is the only 3GPP Rel-17 compliant network designed exclusively for the extreme challenges of the IoT.
It is the first solution of its kind utilising a dynamic leasing capability through Viasat, which allows us to scale our satellite connectivity footprint up or down depending on customer needs. Myriota HyperPulse customers will benefit from Viasat’s global, highly-reliable geostationary L-band network and 3GPP-compliant spectrum, along with Myriota’s hybrid network management platform and power optimised LPWA (low power, wide area) satellite connectivity technology.

By joining the EAP, customers have the opportunity to evaluate the network to provide valuable feedback in the lead up to commercial availability. It also accelerates the pathway for adopting and creating products using Myriota HyperPulse.
Some of the inclusions of the EAP include a Myriota Development Kit (hardware) pre-loaded with base firmware and a standard reference application, access to Myriota SDK, priority access to Myriota’s technical experts and the opportunity to provide feedback and make feature requests during the course of the EAP.

Founded in 2015, Myriota is a global leader in low-cost, low-power, secure direct-to-orbit satellite connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT), and small power-constrained devices.
We have international sales and support teams, and more than a decade of experience in delivering high security, power efficient direct-to-satellite IoT solutions through our UltraLiteTM connectivity service.
The addition of the new HyperPulse 5G standards-based network builds on this knowledge, expanding our extensive infrastructure with a constellation of satellites in geostationary (GEO) orbit and L-Band frequency

Myriota’s network solutions, including HyperPulse, leverage enhanced cryptographic security, integrity and privacy features in addition to the standard security best practices.

Myriota operates a satellite constellation that is a mix of our own satellite assets as well as utilising assets through Space-as-a-Service partners, such as Viasat and Spire.

Myriota 5G IoT platform is designed to support LTE-M terrestrial connectivity. EAP partners get first access to the seamless switching experience across NTN and TN during the second phase of the EAP (June 2025)

Myriota has partnered with Nordic Semiconductor to deliver the Myriota HyperPulse network on their low-power wireless chipset solutions. By using the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151, the smallest and lowest power System-in-Package (SiP) module for IoT deployments, device makers can upgrade their connectivity to Myriota HyperPulse quickly and easily.

Myriota HyperPulse will be compatible with other silicon platforms in the future.

The Myriota Network is our low-power, ultra-low cost global satellite network. It eliminates location and price as barriers to the deployment of connected devices. With millions of data messages already received from real world sensor devices, the Myriota Network is redefining the capability and reach of IoT.

We used a combination of company owned and partner space based assets to deliver the Myriota service.

The Myriota Network offers two communication service types. Service 1 uses the VHF band for uplink, whereas Service 2 uses UHF. Both service types downlink data from the Myriota Network using the UHF band.

The Myriota service types use the VHF and UHF frequency bands because they provide the best radio propagation conditions for direct-to-satellite IoT.

The Myriota service is based on short messages, ideal for Internet of Things applications. Our Network supports data transmission via small messages that offer 20 bytes of user payload, with support for larger messages coming soon. This flexibility means you won’t waste battery and money on bandwidth you don’t need.

Need to optimise your sensor data? The Myriota Module has on-board storage and a microcontroller for data pre-processing and compression. Contact us, so our team can discuss options to slim it down.

The number of daily access times for the Myriota Network is increasing all the time as we grow and enhance our ground and space infrastructure. You can review the frequency and interval of access times any time using the Device Manager.

On the Myriota Network, message latency can vary depending on the Service Type you are using, the location of your device, and whether messages are scheduled periodically or in line with access times.

Please Contact us for more information. We can discuss your goals and take you through the service in each region.

Absolutely, we take data security seriously. Data is securely transferred with AES-CBC-256 using unique per-Module keys and full message encryption for unmatched privacy.

Your data is encrypted in flight and at rest, and delivered securely via a RESTful API with JSON.

Please read our Security and Privacy Whitepaper to learn more.

Using Myriota’s unique, patented, secure and private messaging technology, the Myriota Module does not transmit any identifying information, such as terminal IDs, as plain text. This means both your data and the identity of your devices are secure.

The intelligent design of both our communications protocol and the Myriota Module means you can expect multi-year battery life in the field. The exact lifetime is application dependent, contact us so our team can discuss your specific requirements.

To get an idea for what you can expect for your application type, check out our Battery Life Estimator. Please note, you must be logged into your Device Manager account to access this tool.

The Myriota Module can be powered by a wide range of readily available, low-cost batteries and power sources. 

For example, you can power the Myriota Module using just two AA Lithium batteries. Download our data sheet for more information on module requirements.

More than just a modem, the Myriota Module is a sophisticated edge computing device, and has the ability to interface with a range of sensors and devices. It can be programmed to log, preprocess, and securely transmit data to suit any number of IoT applications.

Yes, the Myriota SDK provides a modem example application which can be used as-is, or built on to meet the specific needs of your application.

We offer per device plans starting from $99 cents USD per month on the Myriota Network. We can also help work through a plan that suits your requirements. Contact us for more information.
