OQ Technology
Operates a low Earth orbit satellite constellation providing 5G NB-IoT and direct-to-device connectivity for global IoT applications in remote and underserved areas.
About
OQ Technology operates a low Earth orbit satellite constellation that provides global 5G Internet of Things connectivity using 3GPP-standardized Narrowband IoT non-terrestrial network technology. The company's satellites function as cell towers in space, enabling direct-to-device communication with standard cellular hardware without requiring specialized satellite antennas. Its services target industries operating in remote and underserved areas, including oil and gas, maritime, mining, agriculture, logistics, and government defense.
The company develops and sells hybrid satellite-cellular terminals, including the OQ ONE modem, which automatically switches between terrestrial mobile networks and satellite links to maintain bidirectional data flow for sensors and asset tracking systems. OQ Technology uses licensed MSS S-band spectrum and is expanding into C-band for direct-to-smartphone connectivity. As of early 2026, the company has deployed 10 IoT satellites and plans to scale to 82 across two phases. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Leudelange, Luxembourg, the company maintains offices in Greece, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Rwanda, and Australia. Its technology was developed in collaboration with the Luxembourg government and the European Space Agency.
