Connecta T1.2, part of Plan-S's Connecta IoT satellite network — a Turkish commercial constellation providing low-power, low-bandwidth machine-to-machine connectivity for remote sensors and asset tracking, in the same commercial category as ORBCOMM and Swarm. Plan-S represents Turkey's entry into the increasingly crowded global satellite IoT market, competing to connect agricultural sensors, shipping containers, and industrial equipment in locations no cellular network reaches.
