Omnispace announced Wednesday that it is collaborating with South Asia/Pacific telco Ncinga PTE LTD on 5G communications. Omnispace and Ncinga said they will work to develop and deliver 5G, direct-to-device mobile communications, from the Omnispace satellite network to Ncinga markets including the Fiji Islands, Maldives, and Sri Lanka.

The announcement was light ons specifics, but companies said that services will expand the reach of Ncinga’s mobile wireless customers, and the companies plan to develop and test technology solutions to serve a variety of industries.

Omnispace is working to build a constellation in Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) to provide 5G services. It is designed as 3GPP-compliant 5G non-terrestrial network that uses 2 GHz spectrum. 

“We look forward to this collaborative effort with Ncinga that will transform the way enterprise and consumer customers communicate – be it in Fiji, the Maldives or Sri Lanka,” said Jay Yass, chief corporate development officer of Omnispace. “Together we will work towards solutions that will make it possible for anyone requiring seamless, real-time connectivity to communicate when traveling or working in or between these remote areas.”
