OQ Technology connects commercial IoT chipset directly to LEO satellite

Luxembourg-based OQ Technology said Dec. 17 it connected a commercial IoT chipset directly to one of its LEO satellites using internally developed software based on 3GPP mobile standards. The test uses an in‑house 3GPP‑compliant stack to enable direct‑to‑satellite IoT with a standard chipset, advancing NTN commercialisation.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Demonstrates practical direct‑to‑satellite IoT using a commercial chipset and a 3GPP‑based stack, complementing industry device tooling such as Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 SMA Development Kit.
Strengthens OQ’s commercial pathway following national authorisation and operator partnerships, building on Luxembourg’s concession and roaming ties like KPN’s strategic roaming deal with OQ and KPN partnership coverage.
Reinforces operational use cases for public safety and alerts after OQ’s prior successful direct‑to‑device emergency broadcast test from LEO.
