SkyTerra (SKYT), formerly Mobile Satellite Ventures (MSV or MSVLP), is a Reston, Virginia company that develops telecommunications systems that integrate satellite and terrestrial radio communication technologies into one system. In March 2010, the company was acquired by Harbinger Capital Partners and under the leadership of CEO Sanjiv Ahuja became part of a new company called LightSquared [1] Contents 1 History 2 MSV satellite telephony 3 Planned satellites 4 See also 5 References 6 External links // History The Corporation was founded in 1988 as American Mobile Satellite Corporation. Its acquisition of ARDIS was completed on March 31, 1998. In April 2000, the company changed its name to Motient Corporation, with its stock traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "MTNT". MSV changed its name to SkyTerra in December 2008. The company was traded Over-the-Counter and was listed on the OTCBB: SKYT. SkyTerra (formerly ‘Mobile Satellite Ventures’) [2] was the first to receive a Federal Communications Commission license to deploy Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ACT) technology.[3] TerreStar Corporation, formerly Motient Corporation, was the controlling shareholder of TerreStar Networks Inc. and TerreStar Global Ltd., and a shareholder of SkyTerra Communications.[4] SkyTerra was acquired by Harbinger Capital Partners in March 2010 and became part of LightSquared in July 2010.[5] AMSC initially provided GEO based satellite services based on its MSAT satellite. Elements of MSV were previously known as Motient. Motient was one of the founders of XM Satellite Radio. MSV satellite telephony Most of current products and services are aimed at emergency services, law enforcement, and companies that specialize in transportation. However, MSV and Boeing are developing a satellite telephony network for consumers. The use of Boeing's GeoMobile platform will allow for coverage of the entire United States with a single satellite. This new approach to satellite telephony has already been validated with the Thuraya network. MSV's satellite will use an even bigger antenna than the Thuraya spacecraft (over 20 meters in diameter, it will be the largest reflector dish ever used in space)[citation needed], allowing it to communicate with phones no larger than modern cell phones due to the fact that the large antenna gain allows the handset to have a power output comparable to regular cell phones. This is now possible since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allowed satellite operators to create terrestrial cellular networks using spectrum previously restricted to satellite use.[6][7][8] This means that phones can be compatible with both the upcoming MSV satphone network and local cellular networks, allowing a user to communicate over the regular cellular network, and only rely on the satellites in areas outside the range of cell towers. MSV has earned patents around this set-up. It will be useful in sparsely populated areas where the construction of cell towers is not cost-effective, as well as to emergency-response services which must remain operational even when the local cellular network is out of service. Planned satellites The SkyTerra1 and SkyTerra2 satellites, based on the Boeing 702 Geo-Mobile bus, are scheduled for delivery in 2010 and 2011 and will be launched into geostationary orbit via ILS Proton rockets. SkyTerra system is based on GMR standard.
