Sweden: Tele2 to launch satellite IoT connectivity with Skylo
October 13, 2025
Tele2, in partnership with Skylo, is launching a new Global Satellite IoT Connectivity service in Sweden. The launch makes Tele2 the first Swedish operator to offer a commercial 3GPP-based direct-to-device satellite IoT solution. The service ensures IoT devices stay connected even when traditional mobile coverage is out of reach, providing connectivity across remote and hard-to-reach areas.
Through the integration of Skylo’s 3GPP-compliant Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) technology, Tele2 IoT customers benefit from uninterrupted service. Devices can automatically switch between terrestrial and satellite networks, enabling industries such as agriculture, logistics, energy, infrastructure, and maritime to operate without disruption in areas beyond the reach of traditional terrestrial networks.
“At Tele2 IoT, we believe connectivity should work everywhere. By partnering with Skylo, we are removing the final coverage gaps and ensuring our customers’ devices stay online – whether at sea, in rural terrain, or other remote locations. This launch is an important step in our ambition to deliver reliable, simple, and global IoT connectivity,” said Stefan Trampus, EVP B2B at Tele2.
“We are proud to partner with Tele2 to bring the world’s largest commercially available satellite network to their globally-focused customer base. We’re excited about supporting Tele2 and their customers as they look to leverage NTN to bring about new business models and insights for new use cases. We look forward to working together to expand our customer footprint with one of most influential operators in Europe,” added Simon Glassman, Senior Manager, EMEA Business Development, at Skylo Technologies.
