US-based LightSquared has announced the successful post-launch testing and acceptance of the SkyTerra 1 satellite and space-based network from Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems.
Boeing has successfully formed the first integrated wireless broadband and satellite network by integrating the satellite’s communications with the ground segment.
The satellite and its ground-based beam-forming system will provide US-wide coverage and enable integrated satellite-terrestrial service.
SkyTerra 1 was launched on 14 November 2010 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, it has a 22m L-band antenna and will relay high-data rate radio frequency signals to and from four LightSquared terrestrial gateways located in the US and Canada.
The LightSquared integrated terrestrial and satellite network is designed to provide wireless mobile services to millions of subscribers across the US.
