Skylo Technologies provides satellite-based connectivity solutions that enhance communication for existing devices in remote locations. Their services are particularly valuable for industries like energy, logistics, and healthcare, where operations often occur in isolated areas.

This approach enables constant communication, which is crucial for monitoring the electrical grid, ensuring the safety of remote workers, and facilitating critical deliveries such as vaccines. Skylo's goal is to provide affordable and reliable connectivity, ensuring that individuals and businesses can stay connected even in the most challenging environments.
