Myriota has announced the general availability of HyperPulse, a 5G Non-Terrestrial Network designed specifically for large-scale IoT connectivity, marking what the company describes as the first commercial 5G NTN service engineered for Internet of Things applications. The service will launch on 15 December across Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United States, following an early access program with customers in environmental monitoring, resources, asset tracking and animal management.
HyperPulse has been designed, built and operated in Australia, combining Myriota’s 5G NTN architecture with L-band satellite capacity leased from Viasat. The network incorporates an optimisation layer that can dynamically adjust performance characteristics, including latency and data volume, in response to user needs or environmental conditions.
The service complements Myriota’s existing UltraLite offering by providing lower latency and higher daily data allowances for applications requiring more frequent or data-rich reporting. These include equipment and freight tracking, smart metering for utilities, weather and environmental sensing, soil, air and water quality monitoring, and animal management tools such as virtual fencing and remote monitoring.
Built on 3GPP 5G NTN standards and supported by Viasat infrastructure, HyperPulse is designed to interoperate with a growing range of NTN-capable devices. Myriota has certified Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 module for use across multiple scenarios, with further device certifications underway.
To support developers and solution providers, Myriota is also releasing a suite of enablement tools starting with the HyperPulse Developer Kit, which is intended for rapid prototyping and field testing. The kit includes a weatherproof enclosure, battery operation and multiple sensor interfaces.
Myriota CEO Ben Cade said HyperPulse is intended to make satellite-enabled 5G connectivity practical at scale for IoT deployments operating in remote or challenging environments. Early Access customer Custodia, based in Saudi Arabia, said the technology is being integrated into next-generation animal tracking solutions to support conservation and livestock monitoring across remote regions.
Myriota plans to expand HyperPulse coverage into Latin America, Europe and Southeast Asia in early 2026 as part of its broader strategy to increase the reach and cost-efficiency of IoT connectivity globally.
