OQ 테크놀로지, 5NETSAT 프로젝트 공식 출범: 유럽 최초의 Direct-to-Mobile 위성 미션

룩셈부르크에 본사를 둔 OQ테크놀로지는 최근 5NETSAT 프로젝트 공식 출범을 알리며 유럽 최초의 저궤도 위성을 통한 5G 스마트폰 문자메시지 전송 개념검증 테스트를 시작했다. 스마트폰에 5G 위성 메시지와 긴급 경보 제공을 목표로 하는 5NETSAT 프로젝트에는 유럽혁신위원회(European Innovation Council, EIC) 액셀러레이터 프로그램에 따라 260만 유로의 보조금이 투입됐다.

Headquartered in Luxembourg, OQ Technology is helping to put the country at the center of a global revolution in mobile communications. With 5NETSAT, everyday 5G smartphones will be able to receive secure messages and emergency alerts directly from space — no apps, no new hardware required. Whether in disaster situations, cyberattacks, or remote areas with no mobile coverage, 5NETSAT ensures that people can stay connected when it matters most.

Luxembourg’s leadership in space innovation and digital infrastructure has made it the ideal launchpad for OQ Technology’s mission. By combining government support, European funding, and a thriving space ecosystem, the country is cementing its role as a hub for next-generation communications and satellite innovation.

Why 5NETSAT Matters
