Omnispace and Lockheed Martin entered into a strategic interest agreement to explore jointly developing 5G functionality from space. The proposed global 5G standards-based non-terrestrial network (NTN) would offer commercial, enterprise and government devices ubiquitous communications worldwide.
Omnispace's vision is 'one global network' that will combine the reach of a non-geostationary orbit satellite constellation with the capacity of mobile wireless carrier networks. This 5G NTN will leverage the company's priority 2 GHz S-band spectrum rights and employ 3GPP standards to enable direct-to-device connectivity and interoperability. In collaboration with Lockheed Martin, this hybrid 5G network would provide the coverage and capacity to support essential applications requiring global communications.
