On Tuesday 20 January 2026, Luxembourg-based satellite operator OQ Technology announced a strategic partnership with a UK-based provider of global Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity solutions, Eseye, to deliver global 5G Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.
The collaboration brings together OQ Technology’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation with Eseye’s AnyNet Connectivity Hub to create a unified connectivity ecosystem using a single SIM solution.
The connectivity providers noted that this approach through integrated satellite and terrestrial networks allows IoT devices to maintain continuous and reliable connectivity, including in remote locations where terrestrial networks are unavailable.
Leveraging the 3GPP Release 17 standard, this partnership extends Radio Access Technology (multi-RAT) connectivity to non-terrestrial networks (NTN), reportedly enabling IoT devices to automatically roam between cellular and satellite coverage. The result, according to the firms, is a global, uninterrupted 5G IoT service for enterprises operating across land, sea and air.
“Our partnership with Eseye marks another significant step toward OQ Technology’s vision of making 5G IoT fully global,” said Omar Qaise, founder and CEO of OQ Technology. “By integrating our 5G-ready LEO satellite constellation with Eseye’s intelligent connectivity platform, we enable seamless coverage everywhere on the planet, from remote deserts and offshore platforms to polar regions. This collaboration delivers the reliability and scalability industries need to unlock the full potential of IoT,” he continued.
OQ Technology explained that its LEO satellites operate in S-band spectrum and deliver “low-latency, high-reliability connectivity” designed specifically for IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications.
Adam Hayes, COO at Eseye, commented, “Our collaboration with OQ Technology is all about delivering value to customers. By combining satellite and terrestrial connectivity, we’re removing the complexity and limitations of global IoT deployments. This partnership ensures businesses can stay connected anywhere, unlocking new opportunities and accelerating innovation for our customers worldwide.”
He added: “This collaboration opens new opportunities for industries such as maritime, logistics, energy, mining, agriculture and environmental monitoring, which depend on uninterrupted data flows for safety, efficiency and sustainability.”
