Satellite communications company TerreStar Networks Inc. said it signed a nationwide reciprocal roaming agreement with AT&T Inc.
TerreStar is developing an all-IP integrated satellite-terrestrial communications network. The company plans to target its service at commercial, government, rural and public-safety users in North America.
The company is planning to launch its TerreStar-1 satellite in the second quarter of next year, though earlier had claimed to be looking at a Dec. 2008 to Feb. 2009 launch window.
TerreStar received $300 million in financing earlier this year to help the company deploy its mobile hybrid satellite service that will use a combination of satellites and ancillary terrestrial components on the ground to provide wireless services.
TerraStar was also named in a lawsuit filed last month by Sprint Nextel Corp. for not paying relocation costs associated with the ongoing 800 MHz rebanding efforts.
