Ligado’s Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) currently support millions of devices from geostationary orbit, delivering reliable connectivity across North America. As demand for mobile broadband continues to grow, MSS spectrum is poised to play a pivotal role in enabling robust, competitive solutions for high-throughput mobile communications in areas that are beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. Adding lower-orbit capabilities to existing geostationary services promises to dramatically accelerate competition and service deployment – bringing fast, resilient broadband to more people and places, more quickly than ever before.
Multi-Orbit Satellite Networks
The addition of Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellites to existing Geostationary Orbit (GSO) networks represents the future of satellite communications. This innovative approach empowers industries, enhances emergency response capabilities, and bridges the digital divide—all while ensuring more efficient spectrum utilization.
As the communications landscape evolves, multi-orbit satellite networks will play a pivotal role in delivering the reliable, high-performance connectivity that consumers, enterprises, and governments demand.
Direct-to-Device Connectivity
Ligado’s direct-to-device (D2D) satellite services extend mobile coverage beyond the reach of cell towers, ensuring seamless connectivity for smartphones and IoT devices. Powered by the SkyTerra-1 satellite and MSS L-band spectrum, Ligado provides ubiquitous, weather-resistant coverage across North America. With seamless integration into existing mobile infrastructure, our standards-based satellite solutions deliver reliable, always-on service for emergency communications, critical IoT applications, and everyday connectivity. Wherever life takes you, Ligado keeps you connected.
MSAT Services
Where land-based communications do not exist or when they are damaged, destroyed, or congested in a disaster situation, Ligado MSAT Voice and Push-To-Talk services get the job done. Search and rescue teams; police and firefighters; maritime and fishing fleets; work crews and drivers for utilities, railroads, trucking, and off-road racing teams, all rely on the Ligado MSAT Services to stay in touch when communications are critical.
