Myriota rolls out AssetHawk for global asset tracking beyond mobile coverage

Stephen Kuper

Australian satellite IOT company Myriota has launched AssetHawk, a rugged, long-life asset tracker designed to deliver reliable global visibility well beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks.

The new device is aimed at operators managing assets in remote and harsh environments, including mining, agriculture and heavy industry. Ready to deploy out of the box, AssetHawk can be installed in minutes and integrates with third-party visualisation and analytics platforms.

AssetHawk’s compact, low-profile design supports flexible mounting including magnetic options making it suitable for rotating fleets and temporary assets.

Built to withstand tough conditions, AssetHawk features an IP68-rated enclosure, allowing it to operate reliably despite dust, impact, extreme temperatures and even submersion.

 
 

Using Myriota’s low-power satellite connectivity, the tracker supports scalable monitoring of trailers, containers, pallets, vehicles and unpowered assets across vast geographies. This enables operators to confirm delivery milestones, cut asset loss, improve utilisation and reduce operating costs as deployments grow.

Myriota chief executive Ben Cade said many tracking initiatives falter once they move beyond pilot programs.

“Most tracking projects fail not in the lab, but at scale – when battery swaps, coverage gaps and complex integrations erode the business case,” he said. “AssetHawk is designed to flip that equation by combining global coverage, predictable multi-year battery life and straightforward integration in a single device.”

For long-term deployments, AssetHawk is engineered to minimise ongoing operational overheads. Its low-power design delivers up to 10 years of battery life using two standard AA batteries. Intelligent firmware automatically increases location update frequency when movement is detected, providing more detailed insights without compromising power efficiency.

The device operates on a standards-based 3GPP Release 17 architecture and uses private data paths to protect against unauthorised access or interference, embedding security and data integrity into the platform. Developed using a TAA-compliant supply chain, AssetHawk is designed to meet the needs of government, defence and enterprise customers where resilience and trust are critical.

Optional Bluetooth Low Energy capability will be available shortly, allowing the tracker to collect condition data, such as temperature and vibration from compatible sensors.

AssetHawk is available now in key markets, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Brazil and Mexico, with further international rollouts planned. Customers and partners can begin deployments using the AssetHawk QuickStart Kit, which includes mounting accessories and API integration guides.

Over the past decade, Myriota has built an expanding satellite constellation, amassed a patent portfolio of more than 170 patents and raised over US$100 million (AU$141.2 million) in funding.

The company provides satellite connectivity and hardware that underpin critical operations across agriculture, utilities, logistics, mining, environmental monitoring and defence, enabling assets to be tracked and monitored even in the most remote locations on Earth.
