LAS VEGAS: MWC Las Vegas. Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT), the next-generation mobile satellite and communications services provider, today announced that Band 53 spectrum will be used to enable high-value and mission-critical applications through carrier aggregation with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) in the United States.

In a significant move, Globalstar is collaborating with Global Telecom, Alliance, and Hawk Networks, which builds on the Althea platform, to deliver an enhanced, seamless, and reliable connectivity experience to U.S. customers. This collaboration leverages on Globalstar's strong track record with Global Telecom, known for their fast-paced innovation and expertise. Global Telecom created the first carrier aggregation modules to include Band 53 with other bands, such as the CBRS spectrum. Understanding the growing demand for reliable wireless solutions, Globalstar’s 10 MHz channel in Band 53 will be used to ensure uninterrupted private wireless network connectivity for CBRS networks even within critical Dynamic Protection Areas (DPAs) or when Priority Access License (PAL) channels are unavailable.

Alliance will integrate the new solution, leveraging the Althea platform and Hawk Networks’ Key LTE/5G innovative core solution, allowing simultaneous use of CBRS Band 48 and Band 53 for channel aggregation. The offering will include the Band 53 spectrum rights authorized by Globalstar for agreed upon areas. Additionally, Alliance will bring Global Telecom's comprehensive portfolio of devices and various RAN solutions compatible with this new approach to the U.S. market.

Customer feedback highlights the solution’s effectiveness in ensuring stability for mission-critical applications and expanding CBRS adoption, effectively addressing challenges related to channel-sharing rules.

Globalstar is committed to the development the Band 53 / n53 ecosystem to provide connectivity solutions to private networks with LTE and 5G NR technologies. Through collaboration with Global Telecom, Alliance, and Hawk Networks, Globalstar complements existing wireless solutions in the market that provide the platform for private wireless networks in the U.S. and abroad.
