LORIOT Partners with Hiber to Deliver Global LoRaWAN® Connectivity Through Satellite Infrastructure
The oil and gas industry faces a persistent challenge: how to monitor critical assets and operations in remote locations where cellular and fiber infrastructure is absent or unreliable.
This lack of connectivity has constrained the development of many IoT solutions, particularly in regions where terrestrial networks simply can’t reach.
Satellite IoT is emerging as a vital solution, offering low-power, cost-effective connectivity directly from space. Unlike terrestrial networks, which only cover around 15–20% of the planet, satellite networks extend coverage to nearly the entire globe, opening up new possibilities for large-scale IoT deployments in the most inaccessible areas.

Weenat, UnaBiz France & Orange Business boost agricultural efficiency for over 30,000 farmers with IoT sensors connected on the Sigfox 0G Network and LoRaWAN
Every day, farmers who manage the crops and livestock that nourish the world wake up thinking about the weather. While sunny skies and gentle rains nurture bumper crops, adverse weather, like drying winds, drought, frost, humidity, or too much rain, can ruthlessly destroy crop yields within hours.
Traditional weather forecasts usually fail to capture the localised climate variations that farmers need and rarely share meaningful insights into hyper-local agricultural information, such as soil temperature, sunlight angles, and humidity impact on leaf wetness. Agro-weather sensors help bridge this gap by giving farmers precise, local environmental and crop condition data. However, agro-weather sensors depend on reliable network connectivity, and many agricultural areas, especially remote areas or “white zones” lack traditional network coverage.
Weenat is a leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) agro-weather sensors. The company empowers farmers with precise, real-time data on soil conditions, crop health, and environmental factors. Such insights let farmers make proactive, data-driven decisions optimising productivity and supporting profitable agricultural operations. Weenat designed hybrid IoT sensors to capture data that switch smoothly between LPWAN networks, according to the best network availability across a farmer’s property. To expand its solutions to more farmers internationally, Weenat needed long-range, energy-efficient, cost-effective, scalable network connectivity that was available even in areas without traditional coverage.
