Globalstar, Giesecke+Devrient, and Tartabit Win 2025 IoT Evolution Award for IoT Satellite Innovation

Globalstar, Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), and Tartabit, collectively, are winners of the 2025 IoT Satellite Innovation Award, recognizing a platform that enables a scalable, secure, and intelligent Internet of Things deployments across the terrestrial and non-terrestrial domains.

As IoT continues to expand across enterprise, industrial, and service provider environments, platforms play a critical role in connecting devices, managing data, and turning insight into action. This year’s award recipients have demonstrated leadership in enabling interoperability, simplifying deployment, and supporting real-world IoT use cases on a global scale.

IoT Satellite Innovation Award: Globalstar, G+D, and Tartabit

Together, Globalstar, G+D, and Tartabit have combined their respective strengths to deliver a truly global multimode IoT connectivity platform that unified cellular and satellite networks into a single, seamless data ecosystem. Rather than requiring enterprises to manage separate hardware, SIMs, and data pathways for different coverage scenarios, the platform simplifies deployment and operations across geographies.

The result is a single-stack, single-SKU solution that delivers intelligent, and cost-effective connectivity anywhere on Earth: one module, one SIM, one data flow. By abstracting network complexity behind a unified architecture, organizations gain consistent device behavior, centralized data management and predictable connectivity as assets move between terrestrial and satellite coverage zones. This approach reduces integration friction, accelerates time to deployment, and enables scalable IoT strategies that are not constrained by infrastructure gaps.

This collaboration integrates:

• G+D’s secure SIM and global cellular connectivity, ensuring carrier-grade authentication and hybrid subscription management
• Globalstar’s RM200M multimode module, enabling switching between cellular and LEO satellite links
• Tartabit’s IoT Bridge, a cloud-ready data orchestration layer that normalizes and delivers telemetry directly to enterprise cloud platforms

The IoT Satellite Innovation Award honors solutions that provides the foundational technology required to build, manage, and operate an IoT Satellite offering at scale — from device onboarding, connectivity management, data management, to lifecycle management.

“Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Satellite IoT Innovation Award,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC, co-publisher of IoT Evolution World. “Satellite IoT solutions are helping organizations remove all terrestrial boundaries for their real-world IoT deployments.”

“Among this year’s winners, the collaboration between Globalstar, G+D, and Tartabit demonstrates innovation, scalability, and a clear vision for how Satellite IoT delivers measurable business value,” he added.

The editors of IoT Evolution World evaluated nominees based on innovation, functionality, market impact, and the ability to support evolving IoT requirements across industries.
