Slide 6: Globalstar International Terrestrial Plans
Globalstar International Terrestrial Plans Globalstar seeks terrestrial authority over its entire S-band spectrum in multiple jurisdictions worldwide. Company has already initiated proceedings in certain countries and by Q1 2017 will have initiated proceedings in countries representing a combined po
Slide 7: Mobile Data Demand and the RF Spectrum Resource
Mobile Data Demand and the RF Spectrum Resource Between 2013 and 2020, conservative projections indicate that mobile data demand will have grown by a factor of 30. Given the finite nature of available RF spectrum for mobile applications, no realistically achievable amount of new spectrum resource wi
Slide 8: Globalstar 2.4 GHz as a Small Cell Resource
Globalstar 2.4 GHz as a Small Cell Resource The Globalstar terrestrial band provides 11.5 MHz (3.7 Billion MHz-POPs) across the entire United States. As a resource for LTE networks, Globalstar 2.4 GHz is unique in its support of small cell deployment. The band holds physical, regulatory, and ecosyst
Slide 9: The Need for Dedicated LTE Small Cell Spectrum
The Need for Dedicated LTE Small Cell Spectrum Small cell dominated network topologies are essential to meeting wireless capacity demands. However, sharing spectrum across both macro and small cell layers introduces interference limitations that severely compromise network performance. Globalstar li
Slide 10: Scarcity of Dedicated LTE Small Cell Spectrum
Scarcity of Dedicated LTE Small Cell Spectrum Conventional commercial wireless network allocations must meet minimum population coverage requirements, which effectively prohibits the exclusive use of most carrier spectrum for small cell. In addition, low frequency carrier spectrum is not physically
Slide 11: Licensed 2.4 GHz Small Cell Impact
Licensed 2.4 GHz Small Cell Impact Small cell represents the most viable method of meeting the next wave of capacity requirements. At 2.4 GHz, physical and regulatory advantages enable the resource to produce multiples of the capacity possible on macro cellular spectrum in the same environment. Even
Slide 12: Globalstar 2.4 GHz LTE Ecosystem for Devices
Globalstar 2.4 GHz LTE Ecosystem for Devices Transceiver technology has evolved significantly since Globalstar’s original TLPS proposal. Whereas the RF chipset ecosystem of 2012 was highly inflexible and unable to accommodate LTE services in Globalstar spectrum, current and anticipated radio archite
Slide 13: Globalstar 2.4 GHz LTE Ecosystem for Infrastructure
Globalstar 2.4 GHz LTE Ecosystem for Infrastructure For conventional FD-LTE spectrum, transceivers used for infrastructure and devices are fundamentally different. This means that bulk quantities of transceivers and peripheral components (e.g., filters) may not be used to improve the economy of smal
Slide 14: The Performance Benefits of TD-LTE vs. FD-LTE
The Performance Benefits of TD-LTE vs. FD-LTE Symmetrically paired spectrum is an artifact of early 1G / 2G networks, where uplink and downlink bandwidth consumption was identical. Today data usage is strongly biased towards the downlink. TDD (Time Domain Duplex) spectrum permits adjustment of the u
Slide 15: International Potential for Globalstar 2.4 GHz
International Potential for Globalstar 2.4 GHz Due to the Company’s position as an MSS provider, the Globalstar spectrum footprint is consistent across international regulatory domains. Following the recent FCC conclusion, Globalstar expects to expand its terrestrial authority in key international m
