Australian-based space tech company Myriota is releasing a commercial 5G non-terrestrial network, enabling mining companies to gather insights, track and monitor assets, and make decisions, even in remote and challenging environments.
The global space-enabled internet of things (IoT) connectivity firm says HyperPulse offers a scalable connectivity platform that makes it simple for industry partners to build, deploy and scale IoT solutions anywhere on Earth.
The service will be available from 15 December in Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the US, with customers in environmental monitoring, oil and gas monitoring, asset tracking, and animal tracking already connected to the network through the Early Access Program.
HyperPulse is scheduled to expand coverage across Latin America, Europe, and Southeast Asia early in 2026.
HyperPulse is fully designed, built and operated in Australia by Myriota, combining the company’s 5G NTN architecture with L-band capacity leased from Viasat.
The network’s unique optimisation layer allows connectivity performance, such as latency and data volume, to be adjusted dynamically in response to customer demand or environmental conditions.
Myriota CEO Ben Cade says with HyperPulse, the company is making 5G non-terrestrial connectivity a practical reality for IoT at scale.
By delivering higher data allowances, lower latency and standards based coverage, Cade notes HyperPulse gives organisations the ability to track and monitor assets, gather insights, and make decisions – even in the most remote and challenging environments.
“With a roadmap of new features coming next year, this is an exciting step forward for IoT connectivity worldwide,” the CEO adds.
Complementing Myriota’s commercially available UltraLite service, which is focused on the most extreme energy efficiency, security and spectrum efficiency – HyperPulse delivers lower latency and higher daily data allowances.
The company says these features enable applications where more detailed reporting and richer sensing are advantageous, including asset tracking and monitoring for heavy equipment, containers, rail cars and trailers; smart metering for utilities, environmental sensing for weather stations, soil, air and water quality monitoring; and animal management, including virtual fencing, feed optimisation and remote monitoring.
Built on 3GPP 5G NTN standards, and leveraging Viasat’s proven satellite infrastructure, HyperPulse offers seamless interoperability with a growing number of NTN-capable chipsets and devices, providing a standards-aligned pathway for long-term deployment and global scalability.
The company has certified Nordic’s nRF9151 module across various use cases, scenarios, and environments, with additional certifications for other suppliers pending.
Because modern IoT solutions demand more than a network connection alone, Myriota is also releasing a set of enablement products to support its IoT partner ecosystem in seamlessly integrating and developing solutions for the HyperPulse network.
Launching alongside the service is the first of these tools – the HyperPulse Developer Kit. It supports rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept validation and is designed for field use, with a weatherproof enclosure, battery operation, and multiple sensor and interface options.
Luliia Sergeeva, CEO of Custodia, an early access customer, says as an engineering-driven IoT business based in Saudi Arabia, Custodia is integrating HyperPulse into its next-generation animal tracking solutions to deliver reliable, low-power satellite connectivity across the Kingdom’s most remote environments.
“This technology will prove transformative for wildlife conservation teams and livestock owners, enabling scalable, cost-effective monitoring in areas where connectivity was previously impossible,” says Sergeeva.
Over the past decade, Myriota has built an expanding satellite constellation, secured a substantial patent portfolio of over 170 patents, and raised more than $100 million in funding. It now delivers the IoT foundations that underpin critical operations across agriculture, utilities, logistics, mining, environmental monitoring and defence.
Myriota enables systems integrators, solution providers and OEMs to easily develop and deploy connected products that sense, track, and monitor assets even in the most remote environments. With teams across 19 global locations and deep partnerships in key markets, Myriota remains focused on its mission to connect the physical world for impact.
