Communications by Satellite (GMPCS)

GMPCS is a personal telephony system providing transnational, regional or global coverage from a constellation of satellites accessible with small and easily transportable terminals. Whether the GMPCS satellite systems are geostationary or non-geostationary, fixed or mobile, broadband or narrowband, global or regional, they are capable of providing telecommunication services directly to end users. GMPCS services include two-way voice, fax, messaging, data and even broadband multimedia.

The GMPCS Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a cooperative framework signed by Member States, GMPCS System Operators, GMPCS Terminal Manufacturers and Service Providers to memorialize the non-contractual and non-legally binding terms of their cooperation.

The final text of the GMPCS-MoU was adopted on 18 February 1997.

The GMPCS Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is:
