Liquid Intelligent Technologies (Liquid), part of the Cassava Technologies group, has announced a strategic partnership with American connectivity innovator Globalstar to deliver cutting-edge 5G connectivity solutions across Africa, the Middle East, and the Gulf

Strive Masiyiwa, founder and Chairman of Liquid Intelligent Technologies, expressed, "I’m really excited by the connectivity solutions now emerging from breakthroughs in 5G private networks technologies. With this technology we are now able to provide services to large businesses like mines with their own 5G private networks that can also enable NextGen services like AI; this is huge."

Transforming connectivity

The partnership grants Liquid exclusive rights to sell and distribute Globalstar’s XCOM RAN private networks 5G access solution in the Gulf, Middle East, and Africa. This advanced technology enhances the 5G experience, supports AI-driven applications, and is poised to revolutionise the mining industry in Africa, as well as high-end markets in the Middle East and Gulf regions.

Hardy Pemhiwa, president and group CEO of Cassava Technologies, remarked, "We look forward to the opportunities this exclusive partnership with Globalstar will unfold for our existing and potential customers in these sectors. Globalstar’s unique 5G enterprise solution will enable us to provide unparalleled connectivity to our customers on the continent, aligning with our ambition of becoming a leading technology company of African heritage, empowering businesses and communities with the reliable and high-speed internet access needed to thrive in the digital age."

Liquid will offer comprehensive customer support for Globalstar’s products and services, including technical and warranty services. The collaboration may also extend to Globalstar’s satellite, Band n53 spectrum, and IoT solutions on a non-exclusive basis.

Dr Paul Jacobs, CEO of Globalstar, commented, "Globalstar is pleased to join in partnership with Cassava and Liquid, a group of well-respected leaders with a sharp focus on technology deployments. The regions where Liquid is a leader are large and growing markets for our technologies which enable safe automation and remote control of mobile equipment in high-value environments. Our 5G XCOM RAN product fundamentally differs from traditional wireless solutions and enables mission-critical high-performance wireless applications. Combining XCOM RAN with the globally licensed Globalstar n53 midband spectrum creates a very unique offering for private and enterprise 5G networks. Together, Liquid and Globalstar will accelerate advanced wireless technology deployments in Africa, Middle East, and Gulf regions."

This partnership between Liquid Intelligent Technologies and Globalstar marks yet another milestone, reaffirming Liquid’s dedication to collaborating with global organizations that share a vision of fostering progress and innovation through connectivity for businesses and individuals on the African continent and beyond.
