Australian space technology firm Myriota is expanding its footprint in Southeast Asia with the launch of its latest satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. The move comes as the company seeks to address long-standing connectivity gaps across the region’s remote and underserved areas.
Myriota, known for its direct-to-satellite technology, is providing scalable and energy-efficient IoT services to sectors such as agriculture, water management, logistics, utilities, and environmental monitoring. Its space-based platform allows businesses to collect and transmit data even in areas without reliable mobile coverage.
Launch of new IoT solutions for remote connectivity
At AsiaTech x Singapore, Myriota is showcasing its IoT platforms, Myriota UltraLite and Myriota HyperPulse, both designed to offer accessible and adaptable connectivity options. These technologies are especially useful for industries operating in hard-to-reach locations where traditional networks are either unreliable or unavailable.
The Myriota UltraLite platform supports ultra-low power connectivity for remote field operations, helping users run monitoring systems with minimal energy consumption. Meanwhile, Myriota HyperPulse is the first 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) solution to use geostationary satellites with beam-hopping capabilities. This innovation allows for more flexible and targeted data transmission across vast and varied terrains.
HyperPulse recently gained global attention after winning the Space & Connectivity Breakthrough Award at the IOT Solutions World Congress 2025. Both systems aim to support better business practices and more sustainable use of resources through improved access to field data.
Growth, partnerships, and regional commitment
With over 200 customers and a team of more than 65 employees globally, Myriota is increasing its presence in Southeast Asia by forming new partnerships and making strategic hires. The company has recently appointed a Business Development Manager based in Malaysia and a Regulatory Affairs Manager in the Philippines to support its regional expansion.
These appointments signal a stronger commitment to countries where fragmented geography and rugged terrain make connectivity particularly difficult. Dan Franklin, Myriota’s Regional Sales Director for APAC, commented, “We’re really excited to be able to bring our satellite IoT connectivity to the South-East Asian market at this year’s AsiaTech x Singapore.”
Franklin highlighted the urgent need for improved connectivity across the region, stating, “We are seeing a real need for better, and more capable, IoT connectivity across the region, where currently many critical resources and infrastructure are not being monitored and therefore businesses are not capturing vital data to protect and optimise resources, like oil and gas in Malaysia, groundwater in Indonesia, plantations in Thailand and fishing vessels in the Philippines.”
Government support and future plans
In late 2024, Myriota secured AUD $25 million in funding from the Australian National Reconstruction Fund Corporation. This financial support is aimed at expanding the company’s IoT platform capacity and scaling its infrastructure to meet increasing global demand. It will also bolster Myriota’s domestic manufacturing capabilities for advanced IoT hardware.
The company views the funding as a strong endorsement of its role in the satellite communications sector. It positions Myriota to continue its growth as a global provider of direct-to-orbit IoT solutions, with a focus on delivering real-world impact in industries that rely on accurate, real-time data in challenging environments.
