Spectrum Unlocked: Use Cases for Success

How Globalstar Band 53TM and Globalstar Band n53TM Are Powering the Next Era of Private Wireless 

Enter Band 53 (LTE) and Band n53 (5G). Exclusively licensed and operated by Globalstar, this mid-band spectrum is purpose-built for enterprise-grade deployments, offering a globally harmonized solution that meets the evolving demands of industrial, government, and large-scale commercial use cases. The result: high-performance LTE/5G connectivity without the noise, congestion, or unpredictability of shared or unlicensed options. 

Here’s how organizations are putting Band 53/n53 to work: 

1. Industrial Campuses and Smart Manufacturing

In high-density, mission-critical environments like manufacturing plants, latency and interference aren’t just inconvenient; they’re disruptive. Band 53/n53 provides dedicated spectrum to power private LTE/5G networks, connecting sensors, AGVs, robotics, and control systems without relying on public networks. Manufacturers gain real-time visibility, deterministic QoS, and secure edge connectivity —all on infrastructure they own and control. 

2. Defense-Grade Deployments for DoD and Federal Agencies

With no limitations for DoD use, Band 53 offers a trusted pathway to deploy resilient, secure wireless networks in government and defense settings. From secure communications in tactical environments to dynamic spectrum access on base, this licensed mid-band solution supports critical applications while remaining agile, scalable, and compliant. 

3. Logistics Hubs and Ports

In fast-moving logistics environments, like ports, intermodal terminals, and railyards, reliable, wide-area connectivity is non-negotiable. Band n53 enables high-performance private networks that track assets, manage vehicle movement, and streamline operational workflows in real time, even in congested RF environments where Wi-Fi struggles to keep up. 

4. Private Wireless for Energy and Utilities

For energy producers, utility providers, and field operations in remote areas, Band 53/n53 supports ultra-reliable wireless infrastructure where public networks can’t reach. These deployments are ideal for Advanced Metering Infrastructure backhaul, SCADA systems, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance, ensuring up time for critical services that communities and industries depend on. 

5. Event Connectivity and Temporary Networks

Large-scale public events – from concerts to disaster response – demand rapid-deploy connectivity that doesn’t interfere with existing networks. Band n53 can be used to set up pop-up LTE/5G infrastructure with low latency and high throughput, ensuring smooth operations, secure communications, and seamless user experiences. 

6. System Integrators Delivering Turnkey Solutions

System integrators are increasingly leveraging Band 53/n53 to deliver enterprise solutions with licensed spectrum baked in, with no need to navigate the complexities of CBRS, SAS systems, or fragmented unlicensed bands. This simplifies deployments, streamlines procurement, and enables the delivery of differentiated value propositions in competitive enterprise markets. 

Why Band 53/n53 Wins Where Others Struggle 

Several key factors differentiate licensed spectrum, which overall contributes to the success of leveraging this connectivity solution over shared spectrum. 

• Licensed and interference-free: Guaranteed performance with no risk of interference 
• Globally harmonized: 3GPP Band n53 enables international deployments and hardware compatibility 
• Private, secure, and scalable: Operate your own network with carrier-grade quality 
• Flexible deployment models: Ideal for direct enterprise use, integrators, or MNO-aligned delivery 
• Designed for mission-critical use: Built for industries that can’t afford to go dark 

Build Smarter on Licensed Spectrum 

Whether you're managing sensitive assets, enabling field operations, or scaling industrial automation, your wireless strategy should match your operational stakes. Band 53 and Band n53 are more than spectrum, they’re strategic tools for building resilient, future-ready private networks. 

With Globalstar’s leadership in licensed spectrum, global reach, and integration-ready solutions, organizations can deploy with confidence, knowing their network is built on a foundation designed for control, performance, and long-term success.
