LightSquared to Invest in Next Generation Push-to-Talk for Public Safety -- Posted July 26, 2011
LightSquared's next generation satellite service will continue to ensure seamless communications among multiple law enforcement and public safety agencies at the federal, state, tribal and local levels. These agencies have come to depend on the reliable interoperable communications capabilities that LightSquared provides.
As part of this plan, LightSquared will:
* Replace the current LightSquared public safety devices at no cost and continue to support older devices through 2014.
* Work with the public safety community to design next generation LightSquared devices that meet the rugged standards demanded by public safety workers who work in a wide range of hostile conditions and environments.
* Continue to support the Satellite Mutual Aid Radio Talkgroup (SMART) program on which public safety agencies nationwide rely to communicate.
