In-Orbit 5G Technology Leader to Collaborate with Industry in Development of the NTN Ecosystem, Opening up a Range of New Applications and Use Cases
Southampton, UK: August 28th, 2025 – AccelerComm, the company delivering high-performance 5G technology for satellite networks today, announced its membership in the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) – an industry group formed to further the development of direct-to-device (D2D) IoT, and other advanced Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity.
MSSA – launched in February 2024 – seeks to develop a global ecosystem utilizing L- and S-band spectrum already allocated and licensed for mobile satellite services (MSS), which 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 networks (NTNs) 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.
“It’s an exciting time for the NTN sector as the planning and deployment of 5G technology into space continues to expand. At AccelerComm, we are pleased to collaborate with other MSSA member companies on initiatives that can address the growing need, and leverage this new era of expanded connectivity,” said David Helfgott, CEO of AccelerComm.
“We welcome AccelerComm as the latest member to join our growing forum for developing and advancing global access to advanced non-terrestrial network services,” said Mark Dankberg, Board Chairman of MSSA. “We are excited by the progress and growing support for an open architecture based on 3GPP standards that will provide the foundation for an ecosystem that will deliver global connectivity for consumers and foster choice through integration of multiple service providers.”
