- It provides satellite-based 5G communications using IoT devices to provide connectivity via LEO. It recently launched its third satellite mission, Tiger-3 on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare mission Transporter 4. It looks to launch more satellites as it grows.
- As part of its growth strategy, QQ Technology will now establish two new subsidiaries, one in Saudi Arabia, as the only 5G network operations centre in the MENA region, and the other in Greece, named QQ Technology Hellas.
