TerreStar Networks Inc. announced today the successful launch of TerreStar-1, the world's largest, most advanced commercial communications satellite that will deliver voice, data and video services on an all IP next-generation mobile broadband network anywhere in the United States and Canada. The TerreStar-1 satellite will be an all-IP core network that will operate with the latest in smartphone technology. TerreStar's network will operate in two 10-Mhz blocks of contiguous MSS spectrum in the 2 GHz band throughout the United States and Canada - with a spectrum footprint that covers a population of nearly 330 million. Prior to the launch of TerreStar-1, the Company, with its partner EB (Elektrobit), introduced the world's first quad-band GSM and tri-band WCDMA/HSPA smartphone with integrated all-IP satellite-terrestrial voice and data capabilities. Similar in size to today's mainstream mobile devices, TerreStar's dual-mode smartphone will allow users to seamlessly and securely stay connected to TerreStar's satellite and terrestrial network. |  |
