Terrestrial Wireless/Band n53
The FCC adopted rules permitting Globalstar to deploy a terrestrial broadband network using a portion of the Company's 2.4 GHz spectrum. This authority provides increased capacity for the nation's terrestrial broadband spectrum inventory and furthers the Commission's continued policy to increase spectrum efficiency. The Third Generation Partnership Project (“3GPP”) has designated the 11.5 MHz terrestrial band as Band 53 with 5G variant of our Band 53, known as n53. This new band class provides a pathway for our terrestrial spectrum to be integrated into handset and infrastructure ecosystems. Globalstar has also received terrestrial authority from several international regulatory bodies.
