Iridium, Altair integrate Iridium NTN Direct into ALT1350, ALT1550 IoT chipsets
IRDM•Iridium Communications and Altair Semiconductor will integrate Iridium NTN Direct into Altair’s ALT1350 and ALT1550 IoT chipsets, combining terrestrial cellular IoT with Iridium satellite connectivity in a single chip.
1. Satellite connectivity integration
The partnership integrates Iridium NTN Direct into Altair’s ALT1350 and ALT1550 IoT chipsets. The single-chip design combines terrestrial cellular IoT with Iridium satellite connectivity, targeting coverage beyond terrestrial networks without a separate satellite modem and supporting standards-based NTN service for NB-IoT and direct-to-device use cases.
