Space based IOT services is a system that connect devices on Earth by using a network of satellites. This process involves collecting data from various sensors or devices, and transmitting it to a satellite. The satellite then sends this data to a ground station or other satellites in the network. IoT interconnects objects to communicate and relay orders without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer intervention.

This services enables devices to communicate and share information, even in areas where traditional communication infrastructure is not available. Satellite IoT services cover a wide range of inaccessible locations to make it possible to track and monitor assets anywhere without regard to blind spots. This enables various devices and applications in  agriculture, transportation, environmental monitoring, and other industries to interconnect and communicate with each other.
