Today, Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) announced that
they will be showcasing with Nokia the benefits of a Band 53
TDD-LTE solution for private network applications geared
specifically to the critical communications needs of utilities
around the world at the upcoming UTC Telecom & Technology
Conference in Fort Worth, Texas.
This Conference will host thousands of Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) professionals and potential
technology partners who are all dedicated to modernizing our
utilities’ infrastructure and, thus, provides the perfect venue to
demonstrate the capabilities of Band 53’s dedicated LTE spectrum
when deployed to handle the mission critical communications needs
of electric, gas and water utilities.
Utilities have not had dedicated spectrum available capable of
delivering the growing bandwidth demand of their applications. And
they lack an efficient private broadband solution for remote sites
such as wind farms as well as areas of the grid with a limited
widely dispersed need for communications. With Nokia’s private LTE
solutions with terrestrial capabilities based on Band 53, these
needs can now be met.
Globalstar’s Band 53, which received 3rd Generation Partnership
Project (3GPP) approval in December 2018, is well suited to meet
the wireless connectivity demands of modern utilities. Globalstar’s
terrestrial Band 53 holds physical, regulatory and ecosystem
qualities that distinguish it from other 5G spectrum
allocations.
“With favorable propagation characteristics including low
interference, high capacity and nationwide availability, Band 53 is
ideal to support next generation services as utilities undergo a
technological transformation requiring extending communications to
the edge of their grid,” says Jay Monroe, Executive Chairman,
Globalstar.
Nokia is committed to developing solutions for private LTE (Long
Term Evolution) and 5G technology, continuing its focus on IoT
solutions for a host of different industries, including utilities.
Band 53 and the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud platform offer
pervasive connectivity for critical communications that ensure the
needs of utilities’ advanced applications are met.
“Our digital automation platform brings reliable and secure high
capacity, low latency and wide coverage mobile broadband for
terminals, sensors and other devices to meet the needs for mission
and business critical industrial connectivity and digital
transformation,” says Stephan Litjens, General Manager, Nokia
Digital Automation. “Communications is essential for extending
automation to the edge of the grid for the required increased
efficiency, reliability and safety as utilities transform their
business models”.
