GSAT’s Recent Developments

In early February, Globalstar announced that Boingo Wireless will integrate XCOM RAN into its private network infrastructure. Boingo is known to provide private networks that deliver secure, high-bandwidth connectivity for critical operations at airports, transit hubs, stadiums, hospitals, convention centers and military bases.

With XCOM RAN’s advanced software-defined private 5G platform, Boingo will be providing new capabilities across indoor and outdoor network deployments, Globalstar said.

Globalstar in January announced the addition of three new six-meter C-3 tracking antennas being installed at its ground station in Yeo Ju, South Korea. Globalstar has provided mobile satellite services across East Asia for more than two decades, via its ground station located in Yeo Ju, South Korea, which has now been expanded to include three C-3 tracking antennas.

The company said that the new antennas installed in South Korea are part of a sweeping global expansion, including up to 90 new tracking antennas supporting Globalstar’s third-generation C-3 Satellite System.
