Direct cloud technology was introduced at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, which sends data directly to the cloud server via satellite. There is no need of internet or mobile network for this. It will provide real-time and secure access to AI applications, IoT data and health services in rural and remote areas.
Direct Cloud Technology: A demo of Direct Cloud technology was presented at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, which sends data directly from satellite to cloud servers. This technology works on the 3GPP Release 17 standard and requires the user to have only a small antenna or satellite-supported device. This will make it possible to access AI applications and IoT data in a secure, real-time and cost-effective manner in rural and remote areas without internet.
It will now be easy to send data from direct cloud
Direct cloud technology was showcased at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 held in New Delhi, which sends data directly to the cloud server via satellite. This technology does not require internet or mobile network. Users simply use a small antenna or satellite-supported device, and the data will be delivered directly to the cloud. This will make AI applications and real-time data sharing very easy in remote areas.
How does Direct Cloud work?
Direct Cloud works over Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), which provides direct cloud connectivity from satellite. Based on the 3GPP Release 17 standard, this technology transfers data from the user device to the cloud server, without the need for Wi-Fi or mobile internet. Its demo was shown at the summit, in which data was sent directly to the cloud.
This system is especially beneficial for rural areas where internet or mobile networks are weak or unavailable. Data from farmers, health sensors or IoT devices can be instantly sent to the cloud.
Companies showed demo
Skylo and other partners presented a live demo of Direct Cloud at the summit. The device was connected to uCloudlink’s MeowGo G50 Max hub, which integrates orbital, in-flight and ground networks. The device connected directly to satellite without an external antenna and performed connection optimization with AI.
This demo proved that AI training, farming data monitoring and health data transfer in rural areas will now be possible even without internet.
Benefits of Direct Cloud
- Reach in remote areas: AI cloud service can be used even in villages, mountains or islands where there is no internet.
- Real-time data: IoT devices will send data to the cloud instantly, minimizing delay.
- Low cost: No need for traditional internet infrastructure, satellite connectivity will prove to be cheaper.
- Security: End-to-end encryption reduces risk of data leaks.
- AI Integration: AI models will run on the cloud, no need for local processing.
