Partnership brings cutting-edge connectivity solutions to various industries, including livestock tracking, smart farming, fleet management, search and rescue, oil and gas, and more.

Skylo Technologies, a global software-defined non-terrestrial network (NTN) operator focusing on connecting everything, everywhere, is partnering with Druid Software, the leader in cellular core network technology to showcase the multiple use cases supported by the companies’ solutions at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Las Vegas. This partnership brings cutting-edge connectivity solutions to various industries, including livestock tracking, smart farming, fleet management, search and rescue, oil and gas, and more.

This partnership creates a powerful synergy that promises to revolutionize the way farms and agribusinesses operate. Farmers are able to attach NTN-enabled sensors to their livestock to capture and manage real-time data on livestock health, location, and environmental conditions, leading to more efficient and sustainable farming practices.

“Farms are often located in remote areas with a lack of access to wireless technologies. Because of this, they rely on man hours and manual methods of managing their livestock and produce,” said Sriram Subramanian, Director of Product Management with Skylo. “But that doesn’t have to be the case, especially with the advent of NTN. Together with Druid Software, we are offering farmers a way to connect the sensors on their animals and amongst their crops to centrally manage the insights using reliable and cost-effective satellite connectivity solutions.”

Visitors to MWC Las Vegas will have the opportunity to explore how Skylo and Druid are working together to support multiple use cases. The demonstration will showcase how real-time data from connected sensors can empower farmers to make informed decisions, enhance animal welfare, optimize resource allocation, and ultimately increase productivity.

Skylo and Druid Software invite attendees, partners, and industry stakeholders to visit Druid’s booth (#1024) at MWC Las Vegas from September 26 – 27 to learn more about their collaboration and witness firsthand the impact of their cutting-edge solutions on the future of agriculture.
