Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) and Globalstar (NYSE American: GSAT) have joined forces to deliver advanced satellite communication solutions tailored for public, government, and defense sectors. The collaboration also marked a milestone with the successful demonstration of Parsons' innovative software-defined satellite communication solution integrated with Globalstar's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation.

As global demand for reliable communication continues to rise in congested and challenging areas, this partnership introduces a cutting-edge approach to bolster communication resilience. Leveraging Globalstar's LEO satellite network, Parsons aims to ensure dependable communication channels, even in environments prone to disrupted pathways.

"This successful demonstration is a significant step forward in how we can use satellite infrastructure to support mission-critical needs across various industries," stated Mike Kushin, president of Defense and Intelligence at Parsons. "By leveraging Globalstar's advanced satellite technology, we are optimizing the Parsons capability solution to provide communications connectivity, especially in areas where radio frequency congestion poses challenges."

The Proof of Concept, initiated earlier this year, is progressing toward commercial readiness. This demonstration establishes a precedent as the first software-defined satellite communication solution of its kind in North America, enhancing capabilities in RF-congested environments. The collaboration sets new benchmarks for addressing global communication challenges in complex operational scenarios.

"Partnering with Parsons Corporation allows us to demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of our satellite solutions in addressing crucial connectivity challenges," said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, CEO of Globalstar. "This achievement exemplifies how global satellite systems can work collaboratively with advanced technologies to deliver essential services in dynamic and challenging environments. We see this as a milestone moment for not only the progress of our partnership but also another way that Globalstar is able to bring value from our satellite infrastructure in the commercialization of these new services."

The demonstration underscores the robust capabilities of Parsons' technology and the advantages of combining efforts at the RF and system levels to tackle pressing connectivity issues.

SSTL partners with LatConnect 60 for SWIR payload development
London, UK (SPX) Dec 03, 2024
SSTL has announced the signing of a letter of intent with LatConnect 60 (LC60) to collaborate on the development of space-based Short-Wave Infra-Red (SWIR) payloads. This partnership builds on the HERCHI project, which SSTL has undertaken with the support of the UK Space Agency. The agreement strengthens the ongoing collaboration between SSTL and LC60, which has already seen both companies working together on data from SSTL's S1-4 satellite. This new endeavor aims to refine the SWIR payload design ... read more
