GSAT Strong Buy 1. Terrestrial Low Power Service (TLPS). This is the FCC's proposed rules to allow Globalstar to open up 22 MHz of underutilized spectrum in the 2.4 GHz band for low power mobile broadband which would add a 'Channel 14' to the existing channels 1, 6, and 11 already being used for Wi-Fi in that band. The proposal is that this would be a "managed Wi-Fi-Like" service: a premium version of traditional Wi-Fi, providing dedicated capacity over a clear channel, resulting in as much as 5-7 times the performance of more crowded channels. Faster Wi-Fi speeds and greater capacity are a huge part of meeting consumer demand--whether it's OTT content options such as Netflix, the Cable Wi-Fi initiative, or the use of Wi-Fi by mobile operators to expand coverage, capacity, and improve the economics of mobile broadband. TLPS represents an exciting opportunity to offer consumers another competitive mobile broadband option that sits somewhere in between the "wild west" of traditional unlicensed services and comparatively expensive, but licensed, cellular data services. Given that Channel 14 is already available in Wi-Fi chipsets at the hardware level, the time to deployment is vastly shorter in comparison to alternative bands being considered for the broadband inventory. TLPS also opens the possibility for unique and innovative services, delivered by both incumbent operators and new entrants.
