While T-Mobile in the US only officially launched its service last week, One NZ has now opened this service to IoT devices. This marks the deployment of the world&#8217;s first IoT network capable of establishing <strong>direct cellular connection with Starlink<\/strong>. One NZ collaborated with local technology firm <strong>APIS Solutions<\/strong> to develop a ready-to-use module that connects to Starlink satellites. This device enables remote, real-time monitoring of beehives without the need for traditional cellular infrastructure. Instant data transfer is possible via satellites, regardless of how remote the beehive locations are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"One NZ Satellite - Busy as bees in the middle of nowhere\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wnlj_zxyQZs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The operator has applied to the <strong>US Federal Communications Commission (FCC)<\/strong> to use more frequency bands to sustainably grow this service. Currently using the 1780-1785MHz and 1875-1880MHz ranges, the company also wants to include the 2500-2515MHz and 2620-2635MHz bands in its service. Meanwhile, T-Mobile has also announced plans to support <strong>IoT devices<\/strong> within its Starlink cellular service offered in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any questions about how this new network might impact other industries, or about the future of satellite-based IoT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpaceX&#8217;s cellular Starlink network has been opened to IoT devices in New Zealand.
