Addvalue Joins the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA)
Industry Stakeholders to Work Side-By-Side to Foster Ecosystem
Singapore, 10 February 2025 – Addvalue Innovation Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGX Mainboard-listed Addvalue Technologies Ltd (“Addvalue”), today announced its membership in the Mobile Satellite Services Association (MSSA) – an industry effort to advance the development of direct-to-device (D2D) and IoT connectivity through an ecosystem of Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) providers that are committed to seamlessly extending mobile coverage globally.
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 founding 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. Emerging D2D services can expand connectivity and enable competition across multiple large and diverse segments, including cellular, industrial, government, agriculture, automotive, and others.
“Addvalue is delighted to join MSSA, reinforcing our dedication to advancing mobile satellite-based communication solutions and supporting the creation of a unified ecosystem for seamless global connectivity,” said Richard Lau, Chief Commercial Officer at Addvalue.
“We are excited to add Addvalue to MSSA’s roster of members as we advance efforts to foster an ecosystem for delivering MSS spectrum-based solutions,” said Mark Dankberg, Board Chairman of MSSA. “We look forward to continuing to unite industry voices and shaping an ecosystem to support affordable, seamless, global roaming connectivity services for mobile users.”
