OQ Technology and Transatel Partner Up For Global 5G IoT Connectivity Via Satellite

Expanding the reach of the Internet of Things (IoT), OQ Technology, the world's fastest-growing 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) LEO (Low-Earth Orbit) satellite operator, has joined forces with Transatel, a leading global mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). This collaboration aims to deliver comprehensive mobile satellite connectivity for IoT devices on a global scale.

The partnership leverages OQ Technology's expertise in deploying NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) connectivity through its constellation of LEO satellites. These satellites create a robust network, enabling reliable and secure data transmission for IoT devices even in remote locations with limited or no terrestrial network coverage.

"Since inception, Transatel has pushed the boundaries of cellular connectivity," said Fabrizio Mancini, CEO of Transatel, in a press release. "This partnership with OQ Technology allows us to take a significant leap forward, offering our customers a truly global solution for their IoT deployments."

Transatel, known for its Ubigi eSIM solution that provides global cellular data connectivity, will now integrate OQ Technology's satellite network into its offerings. This combined solution caters to businesses with geographically dispersed IoT applications, such as asset tracking in remote areas, environmental monitoring in hard-to-reach locations, and connected sensors in developing regions.

"With our 10 satellites in orbit and more to be launched, we will extend DT IoT's offering of low latency and large capacity communication using our 3GPP-standard based Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation," said Omar Qaise, Founder & CEO of OQ Technology, referencing a previous collaboration with Deutsche Telekom.

The 3GPP standard mentioned refers to the globally adopted specifications for mobile networks, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of IoT devices. This standardization simplifies integration and avoids the need for proprietary technologies.

This partnership signifies a vital step towards ubiquitous IoT connectivity. By bridging the gap between terrestrial and satellite networks, OQ Technology and Transatel are empowering businesses to harness the full potential of IoT, regardless of location. The ability to connect and collect data from even the most remote corners of the globe opens doors for innovative applications and advancements in various sectors.

The impact will likely be felt across industries. From agriculture and logistics to environmental monitoring and disaster management, the availability of reliable global satellite connectivity for IoT devices has the potential to revolutionize data collection, communication, and decision-making across the globe.
