MSV is at the forefront of the development of the first integrated satellite-cellular communications network, which will provide seamless, transparent, interoperable and ubiquitous wireless coverage of North America using conventional handsets. It has extensive patents on the technology and holds the first FCC license to provide these services. The company took a lead role in the regulatory process that led to a regime, which allowed ATC, and recognized it as an efficient, effective and forward-thinking use of scarce spectrum resources. As a result, MSV has pioneered the underlying technology necessary to deploy and operate a satellite/terrestrial hybrid network. Through the development of intellectual property and next generation system designs, the company has established the best approaches for spectrum sharing, interference cancellation, hybrid chipset-based devices and other techniques essential to the operation of an economic hybrid network.
