Skylo Inks Direct-to-Device Partnership With Deutsche Telekom

Skylo Technologies, which is partnering with Viasat on direct-to-device satellite service (see 2311160006) and German telco O2 Telefonica for provision of hybrid satellite/terrestrial IoT coverage (see 2309270017), signed a supplemental coverage from space agreement with Deutsche Telekom, the satellite operator said Wednesday. Skylo said Deutsche Telekom's early adopter program will give access to a limited number of users, with the companies through mid 2024 studying use cases that bundle Skylo satellite service with the telco's terrestrial network.
