- Cubic3 and Skylo launched a single-SIM solution combining cellular and satellite connectivity for vehicles.
- The system ensures emergency voice and safety services remain available beyond mobile network coverage.
The Cubic3 satellite cellular connectivity solution was unveiled on February 27 by Cubic3 and Skylo Technologies, introducing the automotive industry’s first commercially validated platform that merges cellular and satellite networks using a single SIM. Designed specifically for vehicles, the system ensures continuous connectivity even in areas where conventional mobile coverage is unavailable.
Unified connectivity for global vehicle operations
The joint platform integrates Skylo’s satellite network infrastructure with Cubic3’s global connectivity technology and automotive integration expertise. By combining these technologies into a unified solution, the platform allows automakers to deliver uninterrupted connected services across diverse geographic regions.
Single SIM architecture
The architecture simplifies connectivity management by allowing vehicles to switch seamlessly between terrestrial mobile networks and satellite communication without requiring additional hardware or multiple subscriptions.
Debut at Mobile World Congress
The solution made its public debut at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Demonstrations highlighted how vehicles can maintain consistent connectivity beyond the reach of traditional mobile networks, enabling reliable communication even in remote environments.
Safety and emergency communication benefits
The system enables embedded emergency voice capability and provides safety-critical fallback connectivity. This strengthens driver confidence while allowing automakers to expand global connected vehicle programmes with improved reliability and service continuity.
