Dedicated Spectrum for Private 5G

Band n53 is a 3GPP-certified midband spectrum licensed exclusively to Globalstar for private 5G deployments worldwide. This licensed spectrum provides enterprises with dedicated, interference-free wireless connectivity for mission-critical industrial applications. Band n53 is fully controlled by Globalstar and available for deploying XCOM RAN in 13 countries and growing.

Licensed spectrum like Band n53 is exclusively controlled and interference-free, while shared spectrum like CBRS allows multiple tiers of users to access the same frequencies dynamically using coordination rules or priority tiers. Licensed spectrum eliminates the risk of interference from neighboring networks, provides consistent performance without priority conflicts, and doesn't require coordination systems. This makes Band n53 ideal for mission-critical industrial automation where reliability and uptime are non-negotiable.

Band n53 combined with XCOM RAN's Supercell technology delivers the equivalent of 40 MHz of bandwidth for 400 Mbps throughput - 4x the performance of first-generation private 5G solutions. This high-performance capability supports modern industrial applications including AI-driven automation, real-time robotics control, high-density IoT deployments, and video analytics in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other mission-critical environments.

Globalstar's Band n53 is 3GPP-certified and authorized for by the ITU for use across the globe, enabling standardization of private 5G deployments across international enterprise operations. It is currently available in 13 countries and continues to expand as demand grows. In the United States, Band n53 supplements CBRS spectrum in ports, transport hubs, and remote areas where CBRS availability may be constrained or unavailable due to the tiered shared spectrum model.

Midband spectrum like Band n53 provides the optimal balance of speed, coverage, and capacity for industrial private 5G deployments. It delivers higher throughput than low-band spectrum while providing better building penetration and wider coverage than high-band millimeter wave frequencies. This balance makes midband spectrum particularly effective for supporting both indoor and outdoor industrial automation applications across large facilities without requiring excessive radio density.

Yes, Band n53 supports both indoor and outdoor private 5G deployments. The midband spectrum characteristics provide strong building penetration for indoor industrial environments like warehouses and manufacturing plants, while also delivering wide-area outdoor coverage for construction sites, mining operations, energy facilities, and port logistics. This flexibility enables comprehensive wireless connectivity across entire enterprise campuses without requiring separate networks.

Licensed spectrum like Globalstar's Band n53 ensures network reliability by eliminating interference from external wireless networks and providing guaranteed spectrum access. For industrial automation applications requiring predictable performance, low latency, and consistent uptime - such as autonomous mobile robots, real-time machine control, and AI-driven quality inspection - licensed spectrum removes the variability and contention risks inherent in shared spectrum environments. This dedicated access supports the 99.99% uptime requirements typical of mission-critical industrial operations.

Band n53 licensed spectrum is ideal for warehousing and logistics operations with autonomous mobile robots and real-time inventory tracking, manufacturing and robotics facilities requiring predictable performance for production automation, government and defense installations needing secure sovereign networks, construction and mining sites in remote areas without reliable connectivity infrastructure, and energy, oil, and utilities operations managing critical infrastructure across distributed facilities. These industries require interference-free, high-performance wireless connectivity that licensed spectrum uniquely provides.
