Luxembourg, July 28, 2025 — In a groundbreaking leap for satellite-based connectivity, OQ Technology has successfully transmitted its first image from the ground via low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite using the 5G NTN IoT standard protocol and S-band spectrum, a world-first in visual data transfer over 5G satellite IoT.

This landmark achievement redefines what’s possible in remote monitoring, asset surveillance, and real-time visual intelligence, especially in locations where terrestrial networks simply can’t reach.

From Ground to Space and Back, the Power of Visual IoT

In this demo, a motion-activated camera linked to OQ’s 5G NTN user terminal (OQ ONE) captured an image of a model rocket. The image was transmitted via OQ’s LEO satellite network and received by a local ground station, entirely bypassing traditional connectivity infrastructure.

“Being able to send images over satellite makes our 5G network dramatically more powerful,” said Omar Qaise, Founder & CEO of OQ Technology.

“Whether it’s an oil rig, power station, or environmental sensor in the middle of nowhere, you can now see what’s happening, not just measure it.”

Game-Changing Applications Across Industries

This innovation unlocks new use cases across several sectors:

• Oil & Gas / Energy: Visual surveillance of remote pipelines and facilities
• Defense & Security: Connect border cameras, drones, and tactical sensors for real-time reconnaissance
• Agriculture: Monitor crop fields or livestock with visual triggers and remote imagery
• Disaster Response: Send images from affected zones for faster relief coordination
• Predictive Maintenance: Verify alerts from equipment sensors with real-time visual confirmation.

With low latency, robust performance, and image capabilities, OQ’s 5G NTN IoT service offers a fully integrated solution for customers who demand visibility and control, anywhere on Earth.

Setting the Stage for the Next Generation of IoT

This milestone is more than a tech demo; it’s a blueprint for the future of satellite IoT. OQ Technology is accelerating toward a world where smart assets not only talk but also show, delivering critical visual insights from the most remote corners of the globe.
