ORBCOMM has announced the launch of the SKYWAVE Connect partner program, which enables Internet of Things (IoT) solution providers, system integrators, value-added resellers and other channel partners to accelerate their IoT solution development, expand their market reach and take advantage of new growth opportunities. The program launched in select regions with a global rollout to follow later this year.

The SKYWAVE Connect partner program provides access to ORBCOMM’s IoT devices, multi-mode satellite and cellular connectivity services, development tools, subscription-based pricing and more. Partners receive a broad range of benefits and services, including marketing support, sales and technical support, 24/7 multilingual multi-location support and professional services for device integration and solution deployment.

SKYWAVE Connect is an ecosystem designed to provide partners with new capabilities and collaboration opportunities across applications, industries and geographies.

For Dave Roscoe, ORBCOMM’s president of satellite IoT, SKYWAVE Connect benefits all parties.

“When our partners succeed, we succeed. SKYWAVE Connect provides them with tools, services and benefits that give them everything they need to build better low-data, high-reliability IoT solutions—faster and more efficiently—for their customers,” said Roscoe. “The launch of this program is a demonstration of our commitment to our partners and their business growth. We can’t wait to see how they innovate with these enhanced resources at their fingertips.”

The program features three tracks:

Authorised Partner: Receives access to ORBCOMM products and services, subscription-based pricing, technical support and marketing opportunities.

Ascent Partner: Designed to support Authorised Partners with strong growth potential, this program includes all Authorised Partner benefits, plus additional support and investment, technical, sales and marketing support, early access to new products and more.

Authorised Distributor: grants rights to distribute ORBCOMM devices and connectivity.

The SKYWAVE Connect partner program is the first in a series of initiatives ORBCOMM will be rolling out in 2025 to strengthen the company’s leadership in the field of remote, low-power, mission-critical IoT applications.

ORBCOMM has over 30 years of industrial IoT experience and a global network of more than 400 partners in 90 countries across a variety of industries, including transportation, mining, agriculture, oil and gas, utilities and maritime.
