Liquid Intelligent Technologies (Liquid), a business of Cassava

strategic partnership with American connectivity innovator
Globalstar to deliver advanced 5G connectivity solutions across
Africa, the Middle East, and the Gulf.
Strive Masiyiwa, founder and Chairman of Liquid Intelligent

solutions now emerging from breakthroughs in 5G private networks
technologies. With this technology we are now able to provide
services to large businesses like mines with their own 5G private
networks that can also enable NextGen services like AI; this is
huge.”
The partnership will provide Liquid with exclusive rights in the
Gulf, Middle East and Africa regions to sell and distribute
Globalstar’s XCOM RAN private networks 5G access solution. This
innovative technology that enhances the 5G experience also supports
AI-driven applications, and is set to revolutionise the mining
industry in Africa and high-end markets in the Middle East and Gulf
regions.
“We look forward to the opportunities this exclusive partnership
with Globalstar will unfold for our existing and potential
customers in these sectors. Globalstar’s unique 5G enterprise
solution will enable us to provide unparalleled connectivity to our
customers on the continent, aligning with our ambition of becoming
a leading technology company of African heritage, empowering
businesses and communities with the reliable and high-speed
internet access needed to thrive in the digital age,” said Hardy
Pemhiwa, President and Group CEO of Cassava Technologies.
Liquid will provide comprehensive customer support for
Globalstar’s products and services, including technical support and
warranty services. The collaboration also includes potential
expansion to Globalstar’s satellite, Band n53 spectrum and IoT
solutions on a non-exclusive basis.
“Globalstar is pleased to join in partnership with Cassava and
Liquid, a group of well-respected leaders with a sharp focus on
technology deployments,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, CEO of
Globalstar. “The regions where Liquid is a leader are large and
growing markets for our technologies which enable safe automation
and remote control of mobile equipment in high value
environments.
Our 5G XCOM RAN product fundamentally differs from traditional
wireless solutions and enables mission critical high performance
wireless applications. Combining XCOM RAN with the globally
licensed Globalstar n53 midband spectrum, creates a very unique
offering for private and enterprise 5G networks. Together, Liquid
and Globalstar will accelerate advanced wireless technology
deployments in Africa, Middle East and Gulf regions.”
