LightSquared is moving forward with its plans to create a faster 4G wireless network by switching airwaves after tests showed its previous system interfered with GPS systems, the company announced Monday. The network innovator will use spectrum controlled by satellite company Inmarsat. “Inmarsat is operating within approximately 2 megahertz. From Inmarsat’s perspective, we have a spectrum coordination arrangement with LightSquared, and they’ve accelerated the availability of our spectrum,” Chris McLaughlin, vice president of external affairs for Inmarsat, told TechNewsWorld.
