OQ Technology and Aramco Digital to expand NTN IoT connectivity in KSA
Both companies will explore new business models and technology advancements to further drive digitalisation and sustainability in industrial operations.
Both companies will explore new business models and technology advancements to further drive digitalisation and sustainability in industrial operations.
The project will be developed in three years by a competitive consortium of seven partners.
The two satellites join OQ 5G NTN IoT satellite constellation which has a total now of 10 satellites.
An important aspect of the study involves the identification of new standard frequency bands for direct-to-device connectivity, ensuring compatibility with existing devices and modules.
Utilising OQ's 3GPP LEO constellation, o2 Telefónica facilitates 5G IoT connectivity for devices compliant with NB-IoT standards.
The deal will see OQ Technology expand its Low Earth Orbit 5G-IoT services and solutions for connecting Aramco's Intelligent Integrated Node.
The 12U modular satellite platform is carrying two partner technology payloads by OQ Technology and SteamJet.
The anticipated launch of the Soyuz-2 rocket, carrying PHI-Demo, is slated to occur within the given window of 3:34 pm UAE time on June 27.
The company has also introduced a private and secure network that provides 5G connectivity for IoT devices.
With the added satellites, OQ Technology will enhance its 5G NB-IoT non-terrestrial networks satellite connectivity service based on 3GPP for non-terrestrial networks.
The on-orbit pathfinder mission, built by NanoAvionics, is aimed at demonstrating advanced 5G IoT services.
As part of its expansion plans, OQ will also set up a subsidiary in Athens, Greece, as well as one in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia.
The MP42 mission has marked the finale of NanoAvionics GIoT R&D project, to provide constellation-as-a-service in a business-to-business setup to existing and emerging IoT/M2M operators.
The wake-up technology will be integrated into OQ's satellite constellation in the Low Earth Orbit.
It has also established the first European 5G Satellite Test Centre (STC) for LEO (low Earth orbit) satellites.
The constellation will consist of more than 60 spacecraft to offer 5G IoT services in remote and rural areas.
The centre will monitor and control the satellite and will be a cornerstone towards operating a fleet of satellites in the future.
OQ Technology has been working on applying cellular 5G IoT technologies and services since 2016.
The contract aims to foster Luxembourg and European space partnerships and involves the development of a 6U nanosatellite.
The aim to develop and innovate in satellite development offering advanced communication solutions and services within the region and worldwide.
