OQ Technology has successfully demonstrated the delivery of emergency broadcast messages directly from its LEO satellites to unmodified standard smartphones in Luxembourg, marking a first-of-its-kind achievement in Europe. With a constellation of 10 satellites and access to 60 MHz of MSS S-band spectrum, the company aims to build a secure, sovereign European direct-to-device network backed by the Luxembourg Space Agency, ESA, and the Luxembourg government. OQ Technology plans to extend this capability with demonstrations of direct-to-mobile voice services in the coming year.
