Myriota, a provider of secure, low-power satellite connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT), has launched AssetHawk, a rugged asset tracker designed to provide global visibility for transport, logistics, mining, and agricultural assets beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks.
The device, powered by Myriota’s HyperPulse 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) satellite connectivity, is engineered for rapid deployment at the edge.
According to the Adelaide-based company, AssetHawk can be installed in minutes and integrates with third-party visualisation and analytics platforms. Its IP68-rated enclosure is designed to withstand harsh conditions such as submersion, dust, impact, and extreme temperatures.
Ben Cade, CEO of Myriota, said: “Most tracking projects fail not in the lab, but at scale – when battery swaps, coverage gaps and complex integrations erode the business case. AssetHawk is designed to flip that equation.”
“By delivering global coverage, predictable multi?year life and straightforward integration in a single device, we’re giving solution providers and systems integrators a way to scale tracking profitably, even for assets that were previously too remote or low?value to justify a tracker.”
According to the company, AssetHawk is powered by low-energy hardware capable of up to 10 years of battery life on two AA batteries.
Intelligent firmware adjusts location update frequency when movement is detected, which the company says provides more accurate insights while optimising power consumption and operational costs.
The device operates on a 3GPP Release 17 architecture with private data paths to protect against unauthorised access, supporting government and enterprise customers with security and data integrity requirements.
Optional Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities will allow users to capture environmental metrics such as temperature and vibration.
Myriota said AssetHawk is available now in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico, with further markets planned.
