Telemaco Melia, Vice President and General Manager of EchoStar Mobile, talks about building a satellite-powered LoRaWAN network that fills in the last-mile connectivity gaps for IoT deployments across Europe and the U.S.
In this episode, Telemaco explains how satellite LoRaWAN is being used to extend coverage to remote locations where deploying gateways isn’t feasible. From cattle tracking in South America to critical infrastructure monitoring in Europe, satellite IoT is fast becoming a necessary layer in achieving 100% device reach.
We explore how EchoStar Mobile’s dual-mode approach leverages both terrestrial and satellite networks to deliver reliable, 24/7 LoRaWAN connectivity. Telemaco also shares why using licensed spectrum in the S-band allows them to guarantee packet delivery and network availability—critical for commercial deployments.
Other highlights include:
- Why most customers already use LoRaWAN and need satellite to close connectivity gaps
- How a smaller segment simply needs a solution, regardless of the underlying protocol
- The technical advantage of LoRa’s LR-FHSS modulation for resilience and interference resistance
- What makes switching between terrestrial and satellite networks seamless from the developer’s perspective
- Why energy harvesting is a major consideration in satellite IoT deployments
- What’s coming next: multi-network chipsets that switch between terrestrial and satellite depending on availability and application
