04 December 2024 - 8:01AM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) and Globalstar (NYSE American:
GSAT) announce their exclusive partnership to support the public,
government, and defense sectors. The partnership also includes the
successful demonstration of Parsons’ software-defined satellite
communications solution using Globalstar’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
satellite constellation.
As the demand for reliable global communication services
continues to grow in complex and congested areas, the collaboration
between Parsons and Globalstar provides an innovative solution
designed to enhance resilience against disrupted communication
pathways. Utilizing Globalstar’s LEO satellite constellation, the
partnership aims to ensure resilient and diverse communication
protocols to support a myriad of communication needs.
"This successful demonstration is a significant step forward in
how we can use satellite infrastructure to support mission-critical
needs across various industries," said Mike Kushin, president of
Defense and Intelligence for 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, which commenced earlier this year, is
progressing through the necessary steps to enter commercial
service. This successful demonstration of Parsons Corporation’s
software-defined satellite communications solution using
Globalstar’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation marks an
important milestone as the first of its kind in North America. It
unlocks previously impossible mission-critical solutions tailored
for radio frequency (RF)-congested environments, setting a new
standard for global communication services in complex and often
challenging operating conditions.
"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 not only highlights the advanced functionality
of Parsons' solution but also the benefits of collaborating closely
on a technology solution at both the RF and system layer.
