Brazil IoT connectivity market evolution

Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) market in Brazil is transitioning toward hybrid connectivity models that combine cellular and satellite networks to mitigate coverage gaps. Following Anatel’s 2025 approval of technologies such as NB-NTN, RedCap, and LTE Cat 1bis, hybrid trackers have become more prevalent.

NLT Telecom has partnered with floLIVE and Skylo to integrate direct-to-device (D2D) and non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity into its NLT One platform. This allows devices to use terrestrial cellular networks when available and switch to satellite services in remote areas. This shift is particularly relevant for sectors like agribusiness, logistics, and industrial operations, as satellite connectivity is increasingly viewed as a standard feature for ensuring continuous connection in regions where up to 82% of Brazil lacks adequate cellular coverage.
