Myriota
Myriota is an Adelaide-based satellite IoT company that connects low-power sensors directly to a constellation of low Earth orbit nanosatellites, giving remote assets - water tanks, cattle, mining equipment, pipelines - affordable global connectivity with years of battery life and no ground infrastructure. Spun out of the University of South Australia in 2015 by Dr David Haley and Dr Alex Grant, the company commercialised a world-first direct-to-orbit transmission technique and now serves agriculture, water utilities, mining, transport and defense customers across multiple continents.
