Adelaide, South Australia, Nov. 13, 2019: Australian company Myriota, which is into nanosatellite Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, has teamed up with global manufacturer Motherson to make ‘Myriota Module’; a low powered device that securely transfers data to the Myriota Network of satellites from anywhere on the planet.
Production is well underway, with Motherson already manufacturing tens of thousands of Myriota Modules. The units are being manufactured at Motherson’s South Australian design and manufacturing facility, and subsequently delivered across the globe, said the company in a press release.
Myriota’s growing list of partners and customers include Optus, Amazon’s AWS and Boeing. It is the first partnership that Motherson has entered into with a space or Internet of Things (IoT) business within Australia; enabling Motherson to expand its business into these industries.
David Haley, Myriota Co-founder and CTO, said in the press note that the collaboration showed it was possible to keep design and manufacturing within South Australia.
“Myriota and Motherson are examples of two South Australian businesses excelling in their respective industries,” Haley said.
Motherson will be manufacturing millions of units of the Myriota Module in South Australia over the next five years. Built on an Edge computing platform, the Myriota Module allows for third party integration with a huge range of sensors and devices. These devices communicate directly with Myriota’s nanosatellites to provide sensor data updates on valuable resources to a wide range of businesses.
