emnify and Lynk announce partnership for global IoT connectivity

emnify, a cloud-native enabler of IoT Cellular Connectivity, announced a new strategic and technological partnership with satellite IoT connectivity provider Lynk.

The partnership positions emnify at the forefront of a nascent revolution in IoT connectivity, with satellite and terrestrial mobile communications systems integrating into a unified “network of networks” to deliver more resilient, accessible, and flexible connectivity solutions.

Through this partnership, emnify will make Lynk’s innovative “cell towers in space” available to all emnify customers. To guarantee consistent and reliable IoT connectivity, emnify customers will now be able to leverage their existing GSM or LTE cellular radio device to connect to Lynk’s satellite-based cell towers. The solution will be underpinned by Lynk’s global technology and managed via emnify’s unique web portal and API’s.

With three commercial low-earth-orbit satellites today and more planned for the end of 2023, Lynk’s satellite portfolio will extend emnify’s global coverage beyond terrestrial mobile networks into international maritime waters.
