Myriota added four new Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) nanosatellites to its global Internet of Things (IoT) constellation through its partnership with Spire, Myriota announced Feb. 13.

SpaceX launched the satellites on the Transporter-12 mission on Jan. 14. The satellites will add capacity for Myriota’s services and expand Myriota’s markets to Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and across the Middle East. 

Spire first announced Myriota as a space service customer to deploy its satellite IoT constellation in September 2021. Myriota is now leveraging Spire’s existing satellite platform to scale its network over the next 12 months. 

The Myriota Network supports industries like logistics, utilities, and agriculture by enabling global data monitoring and collection. It supports use cases like tracking, locating, and monitoring assets. Myriota recently raised a $32 million funding round, led by the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation and venture capital partners.

“The global market for satellite-based communications networks is seeing an explosion in technical breakthroughs and network expansions,” said Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota. “We are excited to be at the forefront of that, with an ultra low power and highly secure IoT connectivity service that is already in widespread commercial use.”
