Only National 4G Network with Nationwide Satellite Coverage

LightSquared is building the only national 4G-LTE open wireless broadband network that incorporates nationwide satellite coverage and has the capacity to support the anticipated explosive demand generated by new consumer devices and mobile applications.

Best-in-Class 4G-LTE Network

LightSquared is building a 4G-LTE open wireless broadband network that will enable a true broadband experience. LTE, a 3GPP technology standard, is the basis of the 4G network deployments of nearly every major carrier globally.

The LTE standard provides an ecosystem advantage and a superior user experience. From a technology perspective, LTE has a maximum data rate—over 100 MB/second—which enables LightSquared to offer more immediate communication with minimal delay and faster upload and download speeds.

Satellite = Coverage + Reliability

LightSquared launched a satellite built by Boeing into geostationary orbit over North America in November 2010. It is among the largest commercial satellites ever launched. Via the satellite, people can operate their wireless devices from every single part of the country. Never again do they have to worry about traveling out of network or losing their connection. For the first time ever, people can enjoy universal network coverage, no matter where they are in the United States.
