KORE Wireless

News Summary:

KORE Wireless recently detailed the progress of 3GPP Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) satellite connectivity, noting on September 30, 2026, its closer alignment with the cellular model. This allows satellite access to leverage existing mobile ecosystem standards, offering a practical solution for connecting IoT devices in remote locations, maintaining service outside terrestrial coverage, and improving resilience during ground network failures. Previously, on September 28, 2026, the company pointed out that the fleet technology sector faces a "data problem," asserting that in 2026, mere visibility—such as knowing vehicle locations, driver performance, or maintenance needs—is no longer sufficient, and the focus must shift to actionable insights. This discussion built upon a September 22, 2026, report from Transforma Insights, which KORE Wireless explored, detailing how 3GPP NTN standards are integrating satellite connectivity into the cellular ecosystem, thus enabling new standalone and hybrid satellite-cellular IoT deployments for expanding remote and mobile environments. Earlier, on September 18, 2026, KORE Wireless emphasized the importance of building redundant IoT networks, explaining that a lost connection for critical devices can halt operations or render assets invisible, making dependence on a single carrier a significant single point of failure. The company had also discussed, on September 17, 2026, the security of connected vehicle fleets through IoT SIM controls, highlighting the growing need to secure cellular connectivity for the increasing number of devices and systems transmitting data like GPS, engine diagnostics, and safety alerts as fleets expand.
