"Nationwide LTE Broadband Network.

LightSquared will offer reliable and comprehensive nationwide 4G-LTE wireless broadband coverage.

Currently networks in the U.S. are struggling with a lack of capacity and the ability to quickly and reliably supply voice and data services to their customers.

LightSquared is addressing this problem by building a best-in-class network with ubiquitous satellite coverage.

Network roll-out.

LightSquared is anticipating commercial launch in the second half of 2011. The network will provide nationwide services from its commercial launch date through satellite coverage and roaming partnerships, as it continues to extend its footprint.

LightSquared expects its partners will begin launching LightSquared-enabled products during the second half of 2011. Per its commitment to supporting the National FCC Broadband Plan, it will cover at least 100 million Americans by December 31, 2012; 145 million by the end of 2013; and 260 million by the end of 2015.

LightSquared-enabled devices including data cards, embedded modules, personal hotspots, and routers will launch during the second half of 2011.

By 2012, LightSquared’s service will expand to include Smartphones and other innovative next generation devices.

Network deployment partner = Nokia Siemens Networks

In September 2010, LightSquared disclosed that both the Nokia Siemens Networks, a leading supplier of telecommunications equipment and services, and the LightSquared boards of directors approved the 8-year, $7 billion agreement for Nokia Siemens Networks to deploy, install, operate and maintain the LightSquared nationwide network.

The agreement, the largest of its kind for the U.S. wireless industry, was first announced on July 20, 2010.

The nationwide LightSquared network, consisting of approximately 40,000 cellular base stations, will cover 92 percent of the U.S. population by 2015.
Preferred LTE Technology.

LightSquared is building a 4G-LTE open wireless broadband network that will enable a true broadband experience.

LTE, a 3GPP technology standard, is the basis of the 4G network deployments of nearly every major carrier globally.

The LTE standard provides an ecosystem advantage and a superior user experience.

From a technology perspective, LTE has a maximum data rate—over 100 MB/second—which enables LightSquared to offer more immediate communication with minimal delay and faster upload and download speeds.

Terrestrial + Satellite = Constant Connectivity

LightSquared is using terrestrial and satellite technology to ensure constant connectivity, regardless of location. The LightSquared Satellite, built by Boeing, was launched into geostationary orbit over North America in November 2010. "

LightSquared's Wholesale LTE Network Challenges Clearwire's Dominance and They will DO anything to Stop Philip Falcone and Harbinger Capital.

Is Clearwire Corp. involved in ANY Government Fraud? If you Have Without a Doubt Proof, you may be entitled to 30% Recovery in a Whistleblower Lawsuit.

It sure seems to me that Clearwire Corporation is up to No Good and that possibly Clearwire, along with their Powerful Connections ...

Clearwire Corp. Seems to Be Attempting to BLOCK Philip Falcone's Lightsquared from Gaining Ground on their turf. It seems that Clearwire is Lobbying to STOP Lightsquared and Harbinger Capital from Competing with them.

In my Opinion this should concern the SEC bigtime and the FCC in their supposed Enforcement of the Communication Act.. they Should Definately be looking at What Clearwire, AT&T and Verizon are up to Behind the Scenes that is interfering with Lightsquared - Harbinger Capital Partners from Competing with them.

Clearwire Threatened by the Emergence of Philip Falcone, Lightsquared in their Market.

"LightSquared's Wholesale LTE Network Challenges Clearwire's Dominance in 4G Wireless Services

As reported in Bloomberg's (News - Alert) business briefs on Monday, billionaire Philip Falcone’s LightSquared (News - Alert) plans to expand in as many as nine U.S. metro areas next year, challenging Clearwire Corp.’s lead in offering 4G wireless services.

The report shows that LightsSquared, backed by Falcone’s Harbinger Capital Partners hedge fund, will extend its network to Dallas, Chicago and Minneapolis in 2011, with plans to extend its reach to 11 additional cities by 2012, including New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

With a mission to revolutionize the U.S. wireless industry through the creation of the first-ever wholesale-only nationwide 4G-LTE (News - Alert) network, LightSquared’s documents show the company will offer 4G service largely in the middle of the country first and then expand to the coasts.

While Sprint Nextel Corp. currently markets 4G through a venture with Clearwire, AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wirelessare planning to enter the fray in the coming months.

In an interview given to Bloomberg, Steve Clement, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities in Portland, Oregon, said, “It’s an ambitious plan. If these guys can get it up and running well, Clearwire (News - Alert) will have a reason to be concerned.”

Likewise, speaking to Bensinger in New York, LightSquared CEO Sanjiv Ahuja confirmed the content of the documents, adding that some specifics have changed since they were distributed late last year. Ahuja, who ran Orange SA in Europe, said he sees an opportunity to bring better and more innovative service to the United States.

Ahuja said that, “there is a big demand-supply gap and we are trying to step in and fill some of that.”

“In terms of wireless penetration, the United States today is nowhere near the top countries,” he added.

Anyway, according to documents given to Bloomberg, Reston, Virginia-based LightSquared intends to add 300 base stations this year, with plans to add about 5,000 by the end of 2011.

And, in 2012, LightSquared projects to add nearly 13,000 base stations in 11 more metropolitan areas. According to the company CEO, LightSquared is on track to begin constructing its network in December.

LightSquared, formed through Falcone’s acquisition of SkyTerra Communications Inc., plans to sell capacity on its network to cable providers, consumer electronics companies and technology companies.

Consequently, a personal computer maker or television manufacturer could sell wireless service to the consumers while simultaneously selling their own products, said LightSquared.

As reported, and confirmed by a company spokeswoman, the first trials will begin in Baltimore, Denver, Las Vegas and Phoenix and the first commercial switch-ons are expected in the third quarter of 2011.

Meanwhile, research data shows that Clearwire is now active in almost 50 markets, from large cities to suburbs, while Verizon plans to launch LTE services in 25-30 markets in the fourth quarter. "
