Omnispace

Omnispace is a telecommunications operator focused on the development of a global non-terrestrial network (NTN). The organisation occupies a specific position in the satellite-to-cellular value chain, aiming to provide direct-to-device connectivity by integrating satellite infrastructure with terrestrial mobile networks. Its primary objective is the delivery of 5G-compliant communications from space to standard mobile handsets and Internet of Things (IoT) hardware without requiring proprietary modifications to the user equipment. The organisation maintains partnerships with significant industry players to validate its technical architecture. Notable collaborations include agreements with mobile network operators such as MTN Group and Spark New Zealand to test roaming and connectivity solutions. The company has also worked with Thales Alenia Space for the construction and launch of initial low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites, specifically the Omnispace Spark-1 and Spark-2 missions, which serve as orbital testbeds for their 3GPP-standardised 5G NTN technology. Prospective partners or buyers should verify the current status of the organisation's full-scale constellation deployment and the regulatory approvals held for specific frequency bands in their target jurisdictions. It is also necessary to confirm the interoperability of the network with specific terrestrial spectrum holdings. Prospective users should assess the timeline for commercial availability versus existing pilot programmes and the verified data throughput capabilities for non-terrestrial 5G links.
