The Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) has recently announced its establishment as the newest satellite industry association. Digital Locations, Inc., a developer of innovative satellite technology called Satenna™, has joined the organization to support the MSSA’s vision of enhancing scale and choice in the emerging Direct-to-Device (D2D) ecosystem.
One of the primary objectives of the MSSA is to cultivate a global ecosystem by leveraging over 100 MHz of L- and S-band spectrum allocated for mobile satellite services. This spectrum is ideally suited for integrating into various mobile devices, offering high-speed Internet connectivity. By adhering to 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards, the MSSA aims to extend terrestrial mobile coverage for both Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and Over-the-Top (OTT) internet services.
The association’s goals include establishing interoperable architectures and standards for multi-orbit satellite systems, ground infrastructure, and end-user equipment. Additionally, the MSSA aims to facilitate seamless global roaming between terrestrial and multi-orbit satellite networks through the development of recommended specifications.
Mark Dankberg, Chairman of the MSSA and Chairman and CEO of Viasat, expressed enthusiasm about the transformative potential of integrating satellite connectivity into consumer mobile devices. He emphasized that the MSSA would work towards creating opportunities to scale systems through open, standards-based solutions for D2D and IoT while preserving critical services in aviation and maritime safety.
Rich Berliner, CEO of Digital Locations, commented on the alignment between the company’s goals and the MSSA’s priorities. Berliner emphasized the importance of the satellite industry’s growth in delivering high-speed data worldwide. He expects Digital Locations to play a critical role in the future infrastructure.
The MSSA’s establishment comes at a time of rapid satellite industry expansion, with companies like SpaceX launching numerous Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The MSSA’s collaborative efforts and standards-based approach aim to address the technological challenges of bringing high-speed Internet directly to smartphones. This breakthrough will benefit individuals worldwide, regardless of location or economic status, enabling access to essential services, remote learning, healthcare, telework, and entertainment platforms like Netflix and Amazon.
