Week in Space Data, every Friday.
OQ Technology is building a LEO constellation delivering 5G narrowband IoT connectivity and was among the first to demonstrate 5G-standard protocols transmitted from space.
ACTIVEOQ Technology is a Luxembourg-based satellite operator building a LEO constellation for 5G NB-IoT and direct-to-device connectivity, using satellites that act as cell towers in the sky with standard 3GPP protocols.
OQ Technology differentiates itself by implementing 3GPP-standard 5G NB-IoT protocols on its satellite constellation, enabling existing cellular IoT devices to connect via satellite without hardware modifications. This approach leverages the massive installed base of NB-IoT chipsets for seamless terrestrial-satellite convergence.
