Sat.One unveils resilient managed LEO satellite service for ANZ
The company's latest offering is designed to address the challenges posed by the adoption of LEO satellite networks, which have become increasingly important for organisations seeking to extend communications beyond terrestrial reach. As enterprises turn to Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity, the support for high-availability and consistent performance across multiple satellite constellations is becoming more complex.
Sat.One Resilient is powered by ARGO, a software-defined edge platform developed specifically for LEO satellite operations. According to Sat.One, ARGO enables the service to anticipate and adapt to link degradation in real time, a capability not found in traditional SD-WAN solutions. The company states that this approach delivers service level agreements (SLAs) with 99.9% availability, with plans to move towards 99.99%.
Dan Fairbairn, Chief Executive Officer of Sat.One, said, "LEO connectivity is redefining what's possible for enterprise communications. But unlocking its full potential requires more than just access, it demands resilience. That's why we designed and built Sat.One Resilient from the ground up, powered by ARGO, to meet the highest expectations for performance, availability, and reach."
The managed service targets enterprise and government customers and aims to provide reliable connectivity in remote and hybrid environments. It integrates with existing customer networks, offering features such as intelligent link management, always-on multi-constellation coverage, and standardised network handoff mechanisms.
At the core of Sat.One Resilient is ARGO, which Sat.One describes as a platform capable of anticipating service degradation from factors such as weather, radio frequency interference, or satellite movement. Unlike SD-WAN products, which typically react after link quality drops, ARGO employs advanced machine learning to identify and address potential issues before they affect service quality.
Fairbairn explained, "Sat.One tested multiple SD-WAN products and found none met the performance thresholds needed for enterprise-grade LEO. Unlike SD-WAN, ARGO proactively mitigates link degradation before it impacts the user. No SD-WAN can achieve this."
By using predictive analytics and real-time corrective actions, ARGO aims to maintain packet loss below 0.1% and deliver consistent user experiences for latency-sensitive applications, including VoIP, telemetry, real-time video, and remote system control. The platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into SD-WAN deployments and supports standard network protocols and industry-specific service classes, such as those provided by OneWeb.
Sat.One reports that Sat.One Resilient is already in use across government, emergency services, and resource sectors, supporting projects that require high availability and operational certainty. The solution is positioned to address increasing regulatory and operational demands in critical infrastructure sectors.
"Sat.One Resilient gives enterprise customers the certainty and performance they need," Fairbairn said. "With enterprise LEO connectivity that's managed, monitored, and mission-ready, there's no substitute. As expectations rise and policy tightens around critical infrastructure, organisations need connectivity they can trust."
The new service is available exclusively through Sat.One's network of telecommunications channel and managed service provider partners. It is designed for integration into partner offerings to deliver additional resilience for customers operating in remote areas or in need of alternative network paths in case of terrestrial outages.
Sat.One described its approach as focused on enabling customers and partners to achieve reliable communication links, regardless of location or environmental conditions.
Sat.One continues to work with technology partners and user terminal manufacturers, including Intellian, Kymeta, and Hughes, to further expand the reach and performance of its services for enterprises and communities throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Satellite IoT market sees over 100 vendors as LEO drives change
New research has shown more than 100 vendors are active in the satellite IoT market, which is becoming increasingly fragmented as new entrants challenge established companies. According to IoT Analytics' latest Satellite IoT Market Report 2025–2030, the dominance of legacy satellite network operators (SNOs) is expected to lessen by 2030 as new players such as Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper enter the market. The analysis finds that in 2024, seven longstanding SNOs held over 80% of the total satellite IoT market share. However, with over 100 vendors now active, competition is intensifying and market dynamics are shifting. The presence of new operators leveraging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations is prompting changes amongst established operators, leading to new business strategies in response. Market overview IoT Analytics observed 7.5 million satellite IoT connections in 2024. The average revenue per user (ARPU) for satellite IoT was found to be nearly 15 times that of cellular IoT, underscoring the comparatively high value of satellite-based remote connectivity solutions. The Satellite IoT Market Report 2025–2030 outlines that while legacy SNOs remain significant, major technology companies are entering the arena and shifting the competitive environment. Starlink and Project Kuiper are highlighted as two leading entrants expected to impact market shares by 2030. Strategic trends Three core strategic trends have been identified in the report. Firstly, the adoption of LEO satellite constellations has accelerated. In 2024, 63% of satellite IoT operators used satellites in LEO to support their services. LEO offers lower signal latency, and the costs associated with manufacturing and launching these satellites are generally less than those for higher orbits. Secondly, legacy operators are increasingly pursuing multi-orbit strategies. By combining LEO, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites - often through partnerships or acquisitions - these companies seek to enhance service coverage and remain competitive. Companies employing multi-orbit connectivity strategies accounted for 50% of the satellite IoT connectivity market share in 2024. Thirdly, the implementation of hybrid networks is rising as SNOs partner with mobile network operators (MNOs). This integration of satellite and terrestrial networks is intended to improve both coverage and reliability for end users, offering broader connectivity options globally. Industry perspective Satyajit Sinha, Principal Analyst at IoT Analytics, comments that "Legacy players like Iridium and Inmarsat won't be displaced overnight. Their continued relevance comes from a proven ability to evolve. But survival for all, especially for newer players, now depends on adapting to the new market reality: LEO collaboration, cloud-native operations, and flexible pricing models are no longer optional. The entry of tech giants like Starlink will reset expectations, and the industry must respond accordingly. With Starlink bringing over 7,000 LEO satellites into service by mid-2025, price competitiveness in the satellite market will reshape the competitive landscape by 2030." Sinha's assessment highlights both the resilience of established firms and the adaptability expected of both current and new market participants. The scaling up of LEO deployments, coupled with adjustments to operational models and pricing, is projected to have a significant influence on how services are delivered over the coming years. Market fragmentation The analysis notes that the growing number of SNOs and partnerships is contributing to increasing market fragmentation. This trend is considered likely to continue as barriers to entry decrease and technology evolves, making it possible for a wider range of companies to offer satellite IoT services. Hybrid network deployments and cross-sector collaborations are anticipated to be key forces shaping the strategic direction of both new and traditional SNOs. Follow us on: Share on:
