OQ Technology is a global satellite constellation dedicated for 5G IoT communication. The company serves the oil and gas, maritime, industry, consumer IoT, and transport segments. This is especially for the management and tracking of assets in remote areas. The company works to provide connectivity solutions and data analytics for:
- Digital oilfield applications
- Offshore monitoring
- SCADA applications
- Asset tracking
- Fleet management
- Smart metering
- Predictive maintenance
OQ Technology's wireless technology (developed in collaboration with Luxembourg government and the European Space Agency) is compatible with existing wireless technologies. The modules are designed to be easy to install and use, offer long battery life, and connect directly to a preferred data cloud. The satellite-cellular modem can collect data from more than 1000 sensors, has a built-in GPS, and supports 5G NB-IoT, GSM, LTE-M, and bi-directional satellite links.
OQ Technology signed a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the Luxembourg National Space program for the in-orbit pathfinder mission (MACSAT). The contract aims to develop space partnerships and involves the development of a 6U nanosatellite, an advanced flight payload, and user terminals. As per the contract, OQ Technology will manage and operate the mission, develop and test in lab and in orbit of satellite-based narrowband IoT software and algorithms, and develop the payload and user hardware. OQ Technology is also responsible for installing a ground station in Luxembourg to run its spacecraft flight operations.
OQ Technology performed a detailed study on the system design of a global satellite system dedicated for Machine2Machine communication. The technology was developed to meet the demands of IoT & M2M communication requirements. The study also included an analysis of the M2M and IoT markets and target business models that allow such a technology to be implemented as a product and service.
OQ Technology was a contractor for the MACSAT IOD mission, where the company designed, implemented, and built a satellite in order to demonstrate its IoT technology in both payload and user terminals.
OQ Technology tested NB-IoT over two LEO Cubesats; the mission was a technology proof of the feasibility of cellular IoT over LEO satellites and tested the developed transceiver algorithms developed by OQ.
The project aimed to create a set of agile software tools implemented in the core artificial intelligence techniques and cognitive algorithms to support engineers in product design or processes in a modular framework. The software can also be used to manage the IoT networks. The software's main objective is to produce engineering test plans and routines with minimal human intervention, and OQ technology suggests the software can save up to 70 percent of the cost and time needed for development.
