Myriota launches satellite global asset tracking

Satellite IoT connectivity company Myriota has announced AssetHawk, a rugged, long-life asset tracker that is designed to provide global visibility beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks.

The company says AssetHawk is a ready-to-use device that installs in minutes and integrates seamlessly with third-party visualisation and analytics platforms. Its compact, low-profile design and flexible mounting options, including magnetic mounting, make it suitable for rotating fleets and temporary assets. An IP68-rated enclosure aims to ensure reliable operation in harsh conditions, including submersion, dust, impact and extreme temperatures commonly encountered in mining, agriculture and heavy industry.

Utilising Myriota’s HyperPulse 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) satellite connectivity, AssetHawk supports scalable tracking of trailers, containers, pallets, vehicles and unpowered assets across vast geographies. This allows operators to verify delivery milestones, reduce asset loss, improve utilisation, lower operating costs and improve margins as fleets and deployments scale.

“Most tracking projects fail not in the lab, but at scale — when battery swaps, coverage gaps and complex integrations erode the business case,” said Ben Cade CEO. “AssetHawk is designed to flip that equation. By delivering global coverage, predictable multi‑year life and straightforward integration in a single device, we’re giving solution providers and systems integrators a way to scale tracking profitably, even for assets that were previously too remote or low‑value to justify a tracker.”

Low-power hardware delivers up to 10 years of battery life on two AA batteries, while intelligent firmware automatically increases location update frequency when movement is detected in order to provide improved insights while optimising power consumption and operational costs.

The device operates on a standards-based 3GPP Release 17 architecture, using private data paths to protect against unauthorised access or interference — ensuring security and data integrity are built into the platform.

The tracker will soon be available with optional Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) capabilities, enabling the capture of valuable condition data from Bluetooth sensors, including temperature, vibration and other environmental metrics.
