Learn why satellite IoT communications has historically come with a premium price due to the high costs associated with building, launching, and maintaining satellite networks. However, lower launch costs have contributed to a gradual reduction in these expenses, which in turn has attracted numerous new entrants in the satellite IoT market. But despite over 70 companies planning to launch satellites for IoT/M2M, many have been cancelled or face challenges in maintaining momentum.

During this webinar, we explore the complex and evolving barriers to low cost, high capacity satellite IoT, and the role that standards-based devices are likely to play in helping to overcome these challenges.

In this webinar, you will learn:

- Why spectrum allocation presents such a challenge for new entrants
- If lower prices means more subscribers are needed for business cases to stack up: is this practical?
- Why 3GPP standards-based devices should make costs more predictable
- What needs to be true for low cost, high capability satellite IoT to be realized.
