Qualcomm launch two new chips with satellite IoT ability for asset tracking

Two new satellite modem chipsets 212S and 9205S from Qualcomm enables to monitor asset at remote locations where terrestrial/ground networks are not available such as on seas, remote land zones with no connectivity. It will be useful for developing IoT systems in industrial applications such as oil refineries, mining, vehicle tracking. Qualcomm Technologies is working with Skylo, an non-terrestrial network service provider, to help enable and operate this new connectivity medium.
“Earlier this year Qualcomm Technologies announced the Qualcomm Aware platform, a revolutionary solution that allows companies to better monitor and track valuable assets virtually anytime and anywhere around the world,” said Jeff Torrance, senior vice president and general manager, connected smart systems, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Our Qualcomm 212S and Qualcomm 9205S chips take our IoT tracking and monitoring capabilities one step further, providing connectivity and coverage even in the most remote areas. These products also further showcase our ability to bring and scale superior innovations to even the most challenging and complex IoT environments.” “We’re proud to collaborate with Qualcomm Technologies to provide satellite connectivity on these groundbreaking new IoT modems to help off-grid devices have ...
