Is satellite IoT still a thing?
summary
Concrete claims and numbers: demonstration since 2018 that LoRaWAN over satellite can run battery devices, gateways claim the highest throughput, and operators aim for one contact per hour with more passes coming. Use cases include polar sensor fleets of 10–100 devices sending ~50–1,000 bytes per hour, priorities are energy per kilobyte, PCB-to-cloud time to market, and shared satellite-as-a-service models (Lacuna, dstelecom, Alfred Wegener Institute examples) that reduce capex and speed deployments.
