Satellite connectivity platform for smartphones and IoT devices
Skylo operates a 3GPP-compliant NTN (non-terrestrial network) vRAN serving satellite-to-device connectivity. The tech stack reveals a telecom-grade infrastructure company: C++, Python, Kubernetes, 5G Core, and network tooling (BGP, Wireshark, vRAN). Hiring heavily into senior and principal engineering roles (19 senior, 8 principal across 36 open roles) while working on protocol stack development and test automation — a sign of deep technical scaling rather than sales-led growth. Active adoption of Cursor and Codex suggests the team is modernizing development velocity around AI-assisted coding.
Skylo provides satellite connectivity for smartphones and cellular IoT devices, enabling direct-to-device communication over existing satellite infrastructure managed through a cloud-native vRAN and 3GPP-standards-based core. The company targets critical industries — agriculture, maritime, logistics, mining — where terrestrial coverage gaps create operational risk, plus consumer mass-market use cases. Headquartered in Mountain View with engineering presence in India and Finland, Skylo works as an intermediary between satellite operators, network operators, and device makers. The 51–200 person organization is structured around protocol development, platform integration, and go-to-market, with active projects spanning NTN test automation, L1/L2 optimization, contract management, and compliance infrastructure.
