en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted an experimental license allowing Anterix and Lynk Global to test Lynk's satellite direct-to-device (D2D) communications network within Anterix's licensed 900 MHz broadband spectrum. Anterix is a market leader in mission-critical private wireless broadband networks, while Lynk Global is a pioneer in satellite direct-to-device services.
Integrating Lynk Global's satellite capabilities with Anterix's 900 MHz private wireless broadband network and devices aims to enhance communications capabilities for critical infrastructure sectors. The two parties will test representative communications equipment across multiple geographic locations, covering land mobile radios, smartphones, computers, as well as advanced routers and edge devices. The convergence of wireless and satellite connectivity, powered by artificial intelligence and edge computing, is expected to enable intelligent, resilient connectivity nationwide, supporting a wide range of sectors including electric and gas utilities, logistics companies, transportation providers, pipelines, and military bases.
Christopher Guttman-McCabe, Chief Regulatory and Corporate Communications Officer at Anterix, stated that testing the integration of 900 MHz devices with Lynk's satellite capabilities will provide deep insights for potential product and service development, potentially opening up an entirely new category of private, secure, and resilient network services. He believes the two companies are taking a significant step toward truly ubiquitous mission-critical communications, supporting resilience, security, and reliability regardless of environmental conditions.
Amy Mehlman, Executive Vice President and Global Affairs Officer at Lynk Global, said that Lynk is expanding to provide broadband-speed direct-to-device services, and it is exciting to explore the opportunity to integrate dedicated low-band spectrum opportunities into its agile, multi-spectrum satellite platform. She looks forward to working with Anterix and its partners to demonstrate the potential of the 900 MHz band to deliver integrated satellite-terrestrial connectivity solutions for the mission-critical requirements of critical infrastructure operators.
