OrbitsIQ Global Joins the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA)
Leading Companies Collaborate to Accelerate the NTN Ecosystem
LUXEMBOURG – 2 December, 2025 – OrbitsIQ Global has announced its membership in the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) – a non-profit industry association that seeks to promote and advance the emerging ecosystem for advanced Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) services, including but not limited to direct-to-device (D2D)
MSSA, launched in February 2024, seeks to develop a global ecosystem utilizing L- and S-band spectrum, which is already allocated and licensed for mobile satellite services (MSS). This spectrum is well-suited for integration into a broad range of mobile devices. Through the coordinated deployment of technical standards and enhancement of regulatory frameworks, the MSSA drives new initiatives to foster support for MSS-based services leveraging the 3GPP mobile standards.
The Association’s members, along with other ecosystem players, support integrating terrestrial and non-terrestrial to deliver scalable, sustainable, and affordable connectivity to any device, anytime, anywhere. Advanced NTN services can expand connectivity and enable competition across multiple large and diverse segments, including cellular, industrial, government, agriculture, automotive, and others.
“We are pleased to welcome OrbitsIQ Global as the latest member of MSSA as we seek to enhance global access to advanced non-terrestrial network services. MSSA’s growth is a sign of the continued momentum and support we are building for a global, open architecture leveraging standards-based interoperability to enable seamless roaming between multiple satellite and terrestrial mobile networks,” said Mark Dankberg, Board Chairman of MSSA.
“At OrbitsIQ Global, we’re revolutionizing connectivity between terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, powering mobile and fixed assets with seamless and secure communications solutions. As a new member of the MSSA, we’re excited to actively contribute to the evolution of the global, standards-based interoperability architecture alongside the extended MSSA community, solving the challenges of unreliable connectivity and empowering commercial and dual-use customers to operate smarter, safer and more efficiently – anytime, anywhere,” added Frederic C. Baker, CTO of OrbitsIQ Global.
