HughesNet Implements GMR1-3G

International leading provider of broadband satellite services, HughesNet, recently disclosed an agreement with SkyTerra and TerreStar. Under this contract, HughesNet will create software to support the satellite capability of TerreStar Network’s and SkyTerra’s next-generation integrated device chipsets. By supporting a GMR1-3G air interface, this radio chipset will bring the global satellite standard to mass-market cellular devices.

HughesNet has designed software that will allow a single, easily programmed SDR chip to serve various cellular standards including EDGE, WCDMA, GSM, GPRS, HSUPA, and HSDPA. In addition, the software will now provide satellite connectivity using the GMR1-3G standard.

“We are excited to work with Hughes on the development of software to enable a single, integrated satellite-terrestrial chipset for burgeoning mass market cellular devices,” said Drew Caplan, Chief Network Officer for SkyTerra. “It opens the door to enable advanced generations of combined satellite and cellular devices that can operate on virtually all digital cellular standards globally, at low incremental cost.”

Dennis Matheson, Chief Technology Officer at TerreStar Networks, added, “The combination of GMR1-3G and terrestrial wireless on a single SDR platform, coupled with our existing development work, will enable a family of handsets that can operate throughout North America on our planned network. The added flexibility of the SDR technology will permit these devices to operate on today's standards, while ensuring an easy upgrade path for use on 4G networks.”

“Hughes is proud to be associated with SkyTerra and TerreStar, both innovative mobile service providers, in developing the software for this integrated cellular phone chipset,” said Graham Avis, vice president and general manager of mobile satellite terminals for Hughes.

“We share in their vision to deliver universal wireless services to consumers and public safety markets utilizing the best of satellite and cellular technologies.”
