Omnispace is a US-based satellite broadband service provider that aims to redefine mobile connectivity. It is building a global hybrid network by combining a non-geostationary satellite constellation with mobile networks, leveraging 5G technologies to deliver "one network" connectivity for users and IoT devices. Omnispace partners with mobile network operators like MTN Group and technology companies like Thales Alenia Space and Lockheed Martin to expand its reach and develop its 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) capabilities. Associated keywords include: 5G, NTN, direct-to-device, IoT, mobile connectivity, and satellite network.
