Business Wire
Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) (“Globalstar” or the
“Company”), announced that the Third Generation Partnership Project
(“3GPP”) has approved the 5G variant of Globalstar’s Band 53, which
will be known as n53.
Jay Monroe, Executive Chairman of Globalstar, commented,
“Achieving 5G status with our band is a significant advancement in
our spectrum efforts. New networks around the world will be built
utilizing 5G’s advanced technology and our resource will now work
in those networks. We appreciate the industry’s continued support
of our spectrum and applaud the 3GPP working group for their
approval.”
John Dooley, Managing Director of Jarvinian Advisors, added, “5G
networks will increasingly rely upon high-density small cell
deployments. What is needed for the spectrum inventory is a band
with advantageous propagation qualities that can be devoted
entirely to small cell use which Band n53 can provide. Band n53 can
also act as a traffic channel or as an anchor for other licensed or
unlicensed bands in 5G networks, allowing rapid and economical
deployment of a licensed spectrum band.”
