Key insights (AI-powered):
Combining 3GPP-compliant NTN LEO with cellular, Wi-Fi and GEO under one control plane accelerates convergence between terrestrial and satellite IoT.
For enterprises, this reduces architectural fragmentation and makes “always-on” global coverage a design-time assumption rather than a niche add-on that could shift procurement from isolated satellite contracts to platform-based connectivity purchases.
For operators and MVNOs, it means new wholesale models where spectrum, landing rights and multi-orbit routing become differentiators.
This move underscores a broader trend toward standards-based, multi-layered connectivity stacks as the standard foundation for massive IoT deployments.
The partnership expands Monogoto’s Wi-Fi and GEO satellite connectivity with OQ Technology’s Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) coverage
OQ Technology, the Luxembourg-based 5G NTN satellite operator for NB-IoT and D2D, and Monogoto, a leading provider of cloud-based hybrid connectivity, today announced a strategic partnership at CES in Las Vegas, the world’s largest and most influential technology trade show.
The collaboration adds OQ’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to Monogoto’s existing hybrid ecosystem, which already includes partnerships with GEO satellite networks, and creates one of the most comprehensive multi-tiered connectivity offerings on the market.
With this expansion, Monogoto customers will be able to seamlessly connect devices across public and private cellular networks, Wi-Fi, GEO and LEO satellites – all through a single SIM card, unified IP addressing and consistent APIs. This makes it easier than ever to maintain reliable connectivity for devices in remote, mobile or intermittently connected environments.
“OQ Technology’s mission is to extend the cellular Internet of Things (IoT) and direct-to-device (D2D) beyond terrestrial boundaries.” said Omar Qaise, founder and CEO of OQ Technology.
“By partnering with Monogoto, our LEO constellation becomes part of a truly hybrid connectivity platform that makes satellite IoT accessible to enterprises and operators around the world by leveraging our valuable spectrum and landing rights.”
The partnership integrates OQ’s reliable and active 3GPP-compliant 5G NTN NB-IoT service into Monogoto’s platform, expanding coverage and reliability for industries such as energy, logistics, shipping, agriculture and utilities that operate beyond the reach of terrestrial networks.
“For the first time, LEO joins our hybrid connectivity landscape” said Maor Efrati, co-founder and CTO of Monogoto. “We believe LEO will drive a fundamental shift in global communications. Our mission is to do what we do best: reduce the barriers to adoption and enable customers to explore and deploy LEO connectivity alongside their existing cellular, Wi-Fi and GEO satellite networks.”
