RESTON, Va.-Mobile Satellite Ventures L.P. announced a deal with AnyData Inc. to develop handsets for MSV’s satellite-terrestrial network. AnyData said it will make a clamshell-style camera phone for the network.
“MSV’s recent demonstration has proven the technical and commercial feasibility of its planned next generation hybrid network, with handsets indistinguishable from standard cellular handsets,” said Monish Kundra, senior vice president of corporate development for MSV. “Our agreement with AnyData represents the latest step in our strategy to develop commercial hybrid handsets suitable for use with any of the major air interfaces targeted for our next generation network.”
MSV plans to build a network that works on both cellular and satellite transmissions.
