OQ Technology and Monogoto add LEO satellites to hybrid IoT connectivity

OQ Technology and Monogoto are linking their networks to offer broader IoT coverage by adding Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites into Monogoto’s existing mix of cellular, Wi‑Fi, and GEO satellite connections. Announced at CES in Las Vegas, the deal folds OQ’s 3GPP-compliant 5G NTN NB-IoT service into Monogoto’s cloud-based connectivity platform.

Customers can now run devices on public and private cellular, Wi‑Fi, GEO, and LEO via a single SIM, one IP layer, and unified APIs. The companies say this will help industries such as energy, logistics, maritime, agriculture, and utilities keep devices online in remote or hard-to-reach areas, and may make satellite links a standard part of IoT network design rather than a niche add-on.
