Omnispace
and GateHouse SatCom Preview a New Era of 5G
Connectivity
September
12, 2022
Omnispace
and GateHouse Satcom
announced that they have
successfully modeled the performance of 5G new radio
(NR) non-terrestrial network (NTN) waveform in an
NGSO environment.
The
Omnispace 5G NTN system, operating in low-earth
orbit (LEO), will seamlessly integrate with
terrestrial networks to deliver a ubiquitous
connected experience for commercial 5G smartphones
and IoT devices globally. The Omnispace network will
utilize the company’s 2 GHz spectrum allocation and
operate in 3GPP standard band n256, identified for
NTN operation.
Omnispace is
building a global NGSO network, compliant with
3GPP-defined mobile standards, making it possible to
deliver uninterrupted 5G connectivity directly to an
ecosystem of mobile devices, applications, and OEM
equipment, around the globe.
“Omnispace
recognizes that companies, people and assets
increasingly require seamless, real-time
connectivity no matter where they might be. We’re
very pleased to announce that we’ve achieved this
key milestone, through our work with GateHouse,”
said Brian Pemberton, Chief Commercial Officer,
Omnispace. “Successfully modeling the performance of
5G NR in a non-terrestrial network environment will
assist us in optimizing our network architecture and
the payload design for our next generation
constellation. This achievement provides a preview
of what’s to come and demonstrates that our vision
of delivering 5G connectivity direct-to-devices
everywhere is possible.”
“GateHouse
SatCom is proud to have helped to orchestrate this
‘first’ on behalf of Omnispace, and for those
looking for a seamless 5G communications experience
everywhere. The world’s first truly global 5G
network, operating as a 5G NR NTN, will ultimately
benefit those looking to achieve one universal
connected experience for the global enterprise,
consumer or IoT device,” said Thomas S. Jensen, CEO,
GateHouse SatCom.
3GPP Release
17 establishes a global standard for
interoperability of devices between terrestrial and
NTN networks. The standard is expected to be adopted
by device manufacturers and mobile operators to
extend the reach of 5G networks and enable expansion
into new applications and regions.
Device, app,
OEM and vehicle manufacturers are invited to contact
Omnispace to learn more about prototyping new
products, services, and applications on the 5G
hybrid network.
