Direct-to-device connectivity set to underpin next generation of industrial IoT | Computer Weekly
Ubiquitous satellite direct-to-device (D2D) connectivity will drive rapid, near-term mass adoption in industrial IoT across agriculture, mining, energy, transport and utilities.
Airbus and Keysight will develop and test open, standards-based 5G non-terrestrial network technologies including regenerative LEO payloads to enable broadband and direct-to-handheld services.
Non-terrestrial networks and satellite connectivity moved from niche to mainstream in 2025, expanding rural broadband, direct-to-cell, enterprise, and in-flight connectivity use cases.
