Satellite IoT and direct-to-device company OQ Technology and Nordic Semiconductor advanced non-terrestrial network (NTN) connectivity options in a test of equipment the latter launched last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OQ Technology stated it used Nordic Semiconductor\u2019s nRF9151 SMA development kit to transmit IoT data to its constellation of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The companies proved the set-up can deliver end-to-end NB-IoT connectivity, an advance Nordic Semiconductor senior product director for long-range BU Kristian Saether said could help close coverage gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pairing the nRF9151 module with OQ Technology\u2019s satellites means customers can \u201cextend coverage without redesigning hardware\u201d, Saether said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tests showed Nordic Semiconductor\u2019s equipment can connect to OQ Technology\u2019s satellites without modifying the hardware, which the satellite player stated shows the mass-market potential and commercial readiness of NTN IoT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OQ Technology explained the collaboration \u201cconfirms that a mainstream, widely adopted cellular IoT module can operate seamlessly over a 5G NTN satellite network, enabling large-scale device adoption worldwide\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company highlighted it offers a 3GPP-compliant NTN NB-IoT RAN stack and a fully functional 5G core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founder and CEO Omar Qaise hailed a \u201cbreakthrough\u201d which he said \u201creflects years of NTN innovation\u201d by the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
