Working in partnership with OQ Technology, a fast-growing 5G NTN IoT LEO satellite operator, Transatel will offer a combined mobile satellite connectivity service, providing global IoT network coverage.
Transatel provides global 5G roaming, facilitating the deployment of Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) solutions worldwide. This collaboration enables businesses to access reliable IoT services, even in previously unreachable areas. The partnership aims to develop a hybrid terrestrial and non-terrestrial network (NTN) solution for customers, utilising compatible devices with common roaming capabilities. Additionally, both parties will explore joint business opportunities and use cases.
“Since our inception, Transatel has always pushed the boundaries of cellular connectivity. Adding OQ Technology’s non-terrestrial network to our platform is a logical evolution to offer our clients true worldwide coverage to support their global IoT and IoV deployments,” said Jacques Bonifay, CEO of Transatel.
Omar Qaise, Founder & CEO of OQ Technology expressed great joy at the Transatel collaboration, marking a historic milestone, saying: “With our 10 satellites in orbit and more to be launched we will extend Transatel IoT’s offering of low latency and large capacity communication using our 3GPP-standard based Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation.”
Satellite connectivity enables IoT applications in areas where terrestrial networks are limited, including connecting stationary IoT devices like agricultural sensors in remote locations and facilitating IoT applications across the world’s oceans.
