Kaleido’s  latest perspectives report examines the key use cases for the IoT that are emerging in the rapidly evolving cellular-satellite connectivity sector. While much focus in the sector has surrounded D2D connectivity for handsets, cellular-satellite use cases can extend to a number of IoT use cases. 

The report examines where the strongest of these opportunities are, as well as outlining best practices for use of cellular-satellite connectivity across several industries. This is combined with an assessment of how this connectivity can be best integrated into connectivity solutions for these use cases, and how business models can be developed around these needs. As well as addressing concerns of specific verticals, an overview of general cellular-satellite connectivity is presented, as a blueprint for serving a great number of different deployment scenarios. 

The report concludes with a general assessment of how the features of NTN connectivity can be adapted for satellite IoT use cases, including where and how different cellular features, from NB-NTN to voice, will be of most use. 

Readers will receive the following insights: 

• How can cellular-satellite connectivity be made to serve key IoT use cases? 
• Which are the verticals most in need of cellular-satellite connectivity? 
• What are the network features most in demand for service delivery? 
• What network architectures are needed to best support cellular-satellite IoT use cases? 
• What general principles can be applied to IoT use cases that need cellular-satellite connectivity?
