Omnispace, Lockheed Partnering on Space-Based 5G Network Research

Omnispace and Lockheed Martin will partner on exploring development of 5G capability from space, they said Tuesday. They said the proposed space-based network would have commercial, enterprise and government applications. Omnispace would use its 2 GHz S-band spectrum rights, and the network would connect directly to devices from non-geostationary orbit, it said.
