Bio

Mr Omar Qaise is the founder and CEO of OQ TECHNOLOGY, a NewSpace customer focused startup which is building a global 5G LEO satellite constellation dedicated for "Internet-of-Things" communication that can provide connectivity anywhere, especially in remote and rural areas.
Mr Qaise brings tremendous experience and heritage to his venture as he worked many years in different organizations and enterprises in the satellite and telecommunication industry (European Space Agency (ESA), German Aerospace Centre (DLR), O3b, OHB SYSTEMS, EUMETSAT) by working on missions ranging from Low-Earth Orbit observation and telecommunication satellites and GEO giant satellites to far deep space missions such as the spacecrafts Herschel and Planck. Most recently was with SES Satellites, the world’s largest GEO broadcast satellite operator, where he had responsibility for Satcom sales and business development in regions such as the Middle East and Africa especially in M2M and Oil and Gas. He became fascinated with the possibilities of the IoT technology as a low-cost product filling a market gap. Mr Qaise brings extensive customer connections and knowledge of competing Satcom systems and 5G, as well as being the chief architecture of the concept.
