We're excited to announce the Starnote for Iridium Starter Kit! If you're building connected products for remote, mobile, or hard-to-reach environments, you can now prototype three connectivity paths in one kit: 📶 Cellular 🛜 Wi-Fi 🛰️ Iridium for global, pole-to-pole satellite failover Ready to start building? 👉 Grab your Starter Kit: https://lnkd.in/gu4fqXYB #IoT #SatelliteIoT #Iridium #EmbeddedSystems #ConnectedDevices #EdgeComputing #IndustrialIoT #ProductDevelopment

Say hello to Organizations 👋 We just renamed Billing Accounts to Organizations in Notehub, and packed it with new tools to help admins manage growing teams: a Guests view to see exactly who can reach your projects, reserved domains for automatic onboarding, one-click project access requests, and updated Organization APIs. Less time wrangling access, more time shipping connected products. Read the full rundown ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ea8GcREp

Are you headed to Automate Show 2026? A lot of the teams heading there are building connected industrial products, and that's exactly the kind of work we love to talk about. If you're going to Automate and you're thinking about how your product sends data back from the field, it might be worth a quick conversation. Drop a comment below 💬 #Automate2026

Satellite certification for IoT devices has historically meant months of third-party lab testing, RF tuning, and compliance work before your device ever ships. We just removed that wall. Notecard for Skylo is now officially Skylo Certified. Any OEM who integrates it with the bundled antenna inherits that certification by extension. No additional lab testing, no additional cost. Your device is Skylo-ready on day one. Read the entire press release 👉 https://lnkd.in/ed8TmFjS #Skylo #IoT #NTN

📹On-demand webinar is now available🚀 Getting a prototype to work is the easy part. Shipping a connected product that actually works in the real world? That's where things get humbling. We sat down with the team at Hello Everyday, who's building aging-in-place tech, to talk through what the prototype-to-production journey *actually* looks like: the connectivity surprises, the UX hard knocks, the reliability decisions you don't anticipate until it's too late. If you're an IoT or hardware builder, this one's worth your time. 🎥 Watch on-demand: https://lnkd.in/gNmD2kpx #IoT #ConnectedProducts #HardwareDevelopment #ProductDevelopment

Provisioning one IoT device is easy. Provisioning 10,000 of them across factories, warehouses, and customer sites, without a single manual configuration step, is a completely different problem. We just published a deep dive on how to architect a four-stage provisioning workflow using Blues: from the moment a device rolls off the manufacturing line to the second it powers up at a customer site fully configured. The key insight: provisioning isn't a step. It's a lifecycle. Get the architecture right and you can ship tens of thousands of units without engineers touching each one. 📖 Read the full breakdown 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghBCMNt4

Notehub, our cloud platform for managing connected devices from edge to cloud, just got a big refresh 🚀 Highlights: 🔐 Encrypted route secrets 📡 Revamped satellite usage views 🛰️ Smart fleet "Apply Now" rules ⚙️ New Batch Job & Firmware APIs Built to help teams deploy and operate thousands of devices with confidence.

The gap between a connected prototype that works on your bench and a product that survives thousands of deployments in the field is where most IoT projects quietly die. 🗓️Wednesday, June 3rd at 12pm EDT We're sitting down with the team at Hello Everyday to unpack the real journey of taking their connected assistive technology platform from prototype into real homes. We'll get into the stuff that doesn't make the pitch deck: ➡️ The hardware and connectivity tradeoffs that shaped the architecture ➡️ The dead ends, roadblocks, and rewrites along the way ➡️ How simplifying device-to-cloud connectivity freed the team to focus on reliability and UX If you're building a connected product and thinking about what it actually takes to scale past the prototype, this one's for you.

The hardest part of building a connected product isn't the prototype. It's everything that comes after. 🙋 How do we provision 10,000 devices without a human touching each one? 🙋What happens when cellular costs scale linearly with the fleet? 🙋 Who owns firmware updates 3 years from now? 🙋 How do we handle a device that fails in a customer's basement in Germany? That's why we built the Connected Product Guidebook — a practical set of resources for moving from planning to deployment to scale, drawn from real-world deployments. Start wherever you are today.
