In this paper we present a multifrequency and multiepoch study of PKS 1502+106 at radio frequencies. The analysis is based on an EVN (European VLBI Network) dataset at 5GHz and archive VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) datasets at 2.3, 8.3, 24.4 and 43.1GHz over a period of 8 years. The source is characterized by a multi-component one-sided jet at all epochs. The high-resolution images at 5, 8.3, 24.4 and 43.1GHz show a curved jet morphology in the source. The radio core brightness temperature approaches the equipartition limit. Superluminal motions of 37.3±9.3c, 22.0±15.5c, 10.5±2.6c and 27.9±7.0c are measured in four distinct components of the jet. Our analysis supports the idea that the relativistic jet in PKS 1502+106 is characterised by extreme beaming and that its radio properties are similar to those of γ-ray loud sources.
