Telecom Leader Myriota Introduces Satellite IoT Developer Platform
The hardware is known as FlexSense, and allows swift development and deployment of sensor-based and tracking solutions.
Myriota, a global telecommunications leader in field-generated intelligence, has unveiled FlexSense, a cutting-edge hardware platform tailored for developers to create sophisticated sensor-based IoT solutions.
FlexSense boasts advanced Bluetooth Low Energy and multi-sensor capabilities, driven by Myriota’s low-power satellite connectivity. With the ability to run on four AA batteries, FlexSense applications can operate for a staggering 10+ years.
In an industry-first, FlexSense allows providers to develop and deploy IoT tracking and sensing solutions within months instead of years. Myriota claims Installation is quick and easy, with operational readiness in mere minutes. The platform offers a code-free interface, plus features such as location tracking and monitoring of humidity, pressure, temperature, and vibration.
The FlexSense device features an IP67-rated, UV-resistant enclosure, capable of withstanding temperatures from -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to 158°F). It includes a preinstalled 3-meter cable with versatile sensor interfaces, including analog, digital, serial, and I2C, making it ideal for demanding real-world field trials.
Ben Cade, Myriota CEO, said: “With FlexSense, we redefine the IoT landscape, making it easier than ever before for developers to design and deploy IoT solutions that work anywhere. The technology works seamlessly with a variety of sensors, meaning our partners can rapidly customize the hardware to meet their unique specifications across a wide range of use cases”.

This globally-launched technology has undergone extensive testing. Grundfos, a Denmark-based global leader in pump and water solutions, has already adopted Myriota FlexSense for a robust pump and tank monitoring system.
Tom Drew, Global Business Development Manager, Solar, Grundfos, explained: “Myriota is an indispensable partner for our business, enabling us to deliver our energy and water solutions for a wide range of use cases across the globe [and enabling] our customers to optimize operations over huge distances, reduce energy consumption, and maximize sustainability”.
FlexSense is the latest of many innovative solutions from the Australian-based Myriota. The company experienced 300% growth in 2023 and is now rapidly expanding worldwide.

At I/O 2026, Sundar Pichai Concedes AI Must Deliver Real Value
Gemini 3.5, a personal agent called Spark, agentic shopping, and Android XR eyewear are all aimed at making AI feel useful, not just impressive.
Google’s annual I/O developer conference (I/O 2026) has recently become a status update on the same question: can the company turn its AI spending into products people use every day? This year, chief executive Sundar Pichai described Google as being in a phase of hyper progress, while conceding this is the part of the cycle where people want to see real value in the products they use on a day-to-day basis.
The strategy on display was to push agents — AI systems that act on a user’s behalf — into nearly every Google product at once. Search now has an “intelligent search box” that returns generated explainer videos alongside links. Gmail, Docs, YouTube and Maps are gaining their own agent layers, including a Docs Live feature that turns spoken instructions into drafted text with citations.
Two new models, Gemini 3.5 and a cheaper Gemini 3.5 Flash, arrived the same day. Google says 900 million people now use Gemini, and that more than 50 billion images have been generated with it. The pricing tier names are likely to confuse buyers: a new AI Ultra plan launches at $100 a month, while the older Gemini AI Ultra drops from $250 to $200.
The flashier announcements were Gemini Omni, a video generator pitched as a more realistic answer to OpenAI’s discontinued Sora 2, and Gemini Spark, a personal agent that handles recurring tasks across a user’s Google account. A new universal shopping cart lets agents complete purchases across multiple retailers from inside Google itself, placing the company between the merchant and the buyer, and also owning the checkout.

Google also confirmed its Android XR eyewear, built with Samsung and frames from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. Audio-only glasses ship this autumn; a display-equipped version, which would superimpose live translations into the wearer’s field of view, is still in development. Both sets translate, however only the display version shows you the result.
What Pichai did not resolve is the bargain underneath all this. An agent is only useful to the degree it knows your calendar, your inbox, your shopping history and your physical surroundings. Google has now confirmed that, in time, the same context may carry advertising.
