Leveraging OQ’s 3GPP LEO constellation, o2 Telefónica facilitates 5G IoT connectivity for devices compliant with the NB-IoT standard.
OQ Technology has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with o2 Telefónica, ushering in a new era in global IoT satellite connectivity.
From Q2 2024, o2 Telefonica will announce global 5G roaming, facilitating the deployment of narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) solutions worldwide. This collaboration provides businesses with reliable IoT services and extends connectivity to previously inaccessible areas.
OQ Technology’s satellite network seamlessly integrates with Telefonica IPX Cloud and o2 Telefonica’s acclaimed IoT connectivity management platform, Kite, to provide enterprise customers with real-time SIM card monitoring and control on a global scale.
In partnership with OQ Technology, o2 Telefónica will introduce hybrid mobile satellite connectivity services to provide comprehensive global IoT network coverage. This service only requires a service level agreement with o2 Telefonica and securely transmits data to customers.
Omar Qaise, Founder and CEO of OQ Technology, expressed his delight at the historic milestone achieved through the partnership with Telefonica, allowing o2 Telefonica users to access 5G IoT roaming services on a global scale. became.
Nikolaos Kalivianakis, Business Solutions Director at o2 Telefónica, highlighted the potential for collaboration to improve efficiency and productivity through OQ Technology’s global coverage and innovative satellite-based IoT connectivity.
Satellite connectivity enables IoT applications even in areas where terrestrial networks face limitations. This includes connecting stationary IoT devices such as agricultural sensors in remote locations and facilitating his IoT applications in oceans around the world.
In early 2024, Telefonica’s Kite platform introduced “IoT Data Ready”, which streamlines NB-IoT data processing and acts as a bridge to traditional IT systems.
