The agreement enables the integration of GCT\u2019s 5G and 4G chipsets into the satellite provider\u2019s user equipment, unlocking new capabilities for global, resilient, and high-bandwidth connectivity, both via satellite and terrestrial networks. This agreement also establishes a clear pathway for future chipset sales as the satellite provider will leverage GCT\u2019s newly released 5G chipset to enable direct-to-satellite applications within its rapidly expanding network. Shipments of the 5G products supporting this initiative are expected to begin as early as the second half of this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-layout related-content-also-read-box my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Also Read: What is the Role of 5G Technology in Space-based Communications?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis collaboration positions both companies at the forefront of emerging and growing 5G-to-space networks that aim to deliver coverage globally, including underserved regions, and aims to accelerate the industry\u2019s transition toward unified terrestrial-satellite networks,\u201d said <strong>John Schlaefer<\/strong><strong>, CEO of GCT<\/strong>. \u201cBy combining our advanced 5G semiconductor solutions with the global satellite footprint, we\u2019re enabling a new era of always-on connectivity that is more robust, more flexible, and more accessible than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under the terms of the agreement, GCT will provide access to its chipset portfolio for use in multiple user devices to provide a complete product line of choice for all use cases. With GCT\u2019s expertise in non-terrestrial connectivity and its proprietary mode-switching capabilities, these devices will be well-positioned to surpass expectations shaped by the disappointing performance of the current generation of non-terrestrial equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">GCT is a leading fabless designer and supplier of advanced 5G and 4G LTE semiconductor solutions. GCT\u2019s market-proven solutions have enabled fast and reliable 4G LTE connectivity to numerous commercial devices such as CPEs, mobile hotspots, routers, M2M applications and smartphones, etc., for the world\u2019s top wireless carriers. GCT\u2019s system-on-chip solutions integrate radio frequency, baseband modem and digital signal processing functions, therefore offering complete 4G and 5G platform solutions with small form factors, low power consumption, high performance, high reliability, and cost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GCT Semiconductor, a leading designer and supplier of advanced 5G and 4G semiconductor solutions, announced that it has licensed its 5G and 4G chipsets to one of the world\u2019s largest satellite communications providers.
