Omar Qaise, Founder and CEO of OQ Technology, shares in The Elevator how his European tech startup is transforming connectivity for remote communities and industries through satellite-based 5G networks.
Closing the gap in global connectivity
The digital divide between remote and urban areas has never been greater, impacting people’s daily lives and limiting enterprise operations. OQ Technology operates the world’s first low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation for 5G non-terrestrial network communication, built on standard 3GPP technology. Their services cater to mobile operators as well as industries like energy, mining, logistics, and agriculture — and soon, emergency smartphone communications.
