Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Terran Orbital, designed, manufactured, and operates EchoStar Global 3 on behalf of EchoStar Corporation.
EchoStar intends to use the successful stationing of EchoStar Global 3 to move forward with planning the next steps in the development of its global S-band capabilities.
To lock in global S-band spectrum rights, EchoStar needed to begin providing services from the low Earth orbit slot before 2021-08-10.
The orbit raising for the EchoStar nanosatellite required about 65 m per second of delta-v.
EchoStar succeeded with its third nanosatellite launched 2021-06-30 on the SpaceX Transporter-2 rideshare flight.
EchoStar acquired worldwide S-band rights in low Earth orbit in 2019 when it acquired Canadian startup Helios Wire.
EchoStar acquired Solaris Mobile from SES and Eutelsat in 2013.
EchoStar faced an 2021-08-10 deadline to bring its S-band slot into use or risk losing it under International Telecommunication Union rules.
EchoStar acquired Canadian startup Helios Wire in late 2019, giving EchoStar worldwide S-band rights in low Earth orbit subject to successful launch and operation of its upcoming satellite.
EchoStar plans to secure global non-geostationary S-band rights by the ITU deadline of 2021-08-10 by launching a nanosatellite before the end of June.
Bringing a satellite into use to secure the S-band license will extend EchoStar’s S-band footprint beyond Europe and parts of Africa and the Middle East where it currently offers voice and data mobile satellite services from geostationary orbit.
After acquiring Solaris, EchoStar obtained S-band licenses in other countries, including Mexico.
Hughes Network Systems, which EchoStar owns, unveiled a hybrid terminal called Hughes 4510 for European customers on 2021-05-10 that automatically switches to S-band satellite services when moving out of terrestrial cellular coverage.
EchoStar began its international S-band strategy in 2013 after buying Solaris, an Irish company that had been seeking a market for the S-band frequencies covering Europe.
Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems built the three nanosatellites that EchoStar has used in its S-band licensing attempts.
Solaris changed its name to EchoStar Mobile Limited and provides connectivity services in and around Europe using the EchoStar-21 satellite and a partly operational payload on Eutelsat-10A.
EchoStar Mobile uses the Hughes 4510 to provide its EM SYNERGY service, which combines S-band satellite service with pan-European mobile roaming to deliver hybrid connectivity across Europe.
EchoStar Mobile is a subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation that provides mobile satellite services and offers connectivity across Europe through a converged satellite and terrestrial network.
Semtech and EchoStar Mobile launched an initiative to test satellite connectivity services enabled by the LoRaWAN protocol.
EchoStar Mobile uses licensed spectrum to provide satellite LoRaWAN service, providing a differentiated service versus the ISM band.
