Partnership Conducts Proof-of-Concept Communications Experiment
Globalstar and Parsons Corporation Validated Performance and Operational Readiness
Two companies say they have taken a significant step toward commercial availability of a joint software-defined satellite communications solution. Globalstar and Parsons Corporation collaborated on a proof of concept experiment conducted across three European ground stations, which validated performance and operational readiness for real-world deployment.
"This successful proof of concept confirms that Globalstar’s capabilities combined with Parsons’ innovative technologies are driving the future of mission-critical communications.”

The successful demonstration represents a significant step forward in the strategic partnership between Globalstar and Parsons, moving the opportunity into the commercial phase.
“At Parsons, we are building for the future of defense and emergency communications, where adaptability, resilience, and global reach are essential,” said Mike Kushin, President of Defense and Intelligence for Parsons. “Globalstar’s infrastructure gives us the low latency, global coverage, and proven performance that our customers demand. This successful proof of concept confirms that Globalstar’s capabilities combined with Parsons’ innovative technologies are driving the future of mission-critical communications.”
Parsons collaborated with Globalstar to validate its software-defined communications platform under real-world operating conditions, following earlier prototype testing in the continental U.S. The system leverages Globalstar’s LEO satellite constellation to deliver fast and reliable communications worldwide, particularly in areas where traditional infrastructure is compromised.
“This milestone is powerful validation of the resiliency and reliability of Globalstar’s network to support mission-critical government and defense communications,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, Globalstar CEO. “With successful proof of concept behind us, we are proud to have demonstrated our capabilities in providing steady, dependable connectivity to Parsons’ solution set.”
