Brazil’s CPQD tests combination of mobile and satellite networks for IoT

Brazilian research and development institution CPQD announced work on combining Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) with non-terrestrial networks (NTN), such as satellite communication, to expand coverage and efficiency in remote areas. This technology is gaining traction internationally, with companies like Sateliot launching low-Earth orbit satellites specifically for IoT applications. CPQD has been actively involved in laboratory testing and standardization efforts for NB-IoT NTN, aligning with the 3GPP’s release 17Brazilian research and development institution CPQD announced work on combining Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) with non-terrestrial networks (NTN), such as satellite communication, to expand coverage and efficiency in remote areas.
