The ALT1250 chipset from Sony Semiconductor Israel (Sony) has been certified as part of the Skylo Certification Program, according to a recent announcement from Skylo Technologies, the pioneer in satellite network communication. It won’t be necessary for users to actively switch between native satellite and cellular connectivity in any device that uses the chipset. The aid of a partner mobile service provider, Skylo offers connectivity plans and devices.
Sony’s Altair ALT1250 has successfully completed extensive testing and assessment, demonstrating its ability to satisfy Skylo’s exacting requirements for dependability, connectivity, and power efficiency. With the ability to now function on Skylo’s satellite network, devices sporting the ALT1250 chipset open up a world of possibilities for wearables, IoT devices, remote tracking and sensing, and international communication solutions.
The certification of Sony’s Altair ALT1250 under Skylo’s program excites us. According to Sony Semiconductor Israel Vice President of Product Management and Marketing Dima Feldman, “This certification milestone will simplify module and end-device onboarding to Skylo’s enabled NTN.” “With the addition of satellite communication to our OneSKU technology, a plethora of innovative opportunities are created that enable connectivity in several nations worldwide, in both urban and rural areas.”
This accomplishment is noteworthy under the Skylo Certification Program. According to Prasanna Iyengar, Senior Director of Product Management at Skylo, “Sony’s Altair had to pass rigorous testing to ensure reliability, efficiency, and seamless integration for efficient operations over Skylo’s satellite network.” “It allows manufacturers to easily integrate NTN connectivity into their devices without requiring additional hardware modifications, which marks a significant milestone in IoT and wearables connectivity.” This guarantees that NTN serves as the basis for pervasive connectivity rather than just being a perk.”
