SAN DIEGO, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XCOM RAN by Globalstar, a pioneer in next-generation private 5G technology, today announced it has been awarded “Warehouse Technology Innovation of the Year” in the 5th annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by SupplyTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout technology companies, products and services in the global supply chain & logistics industry.
The annual SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards program rigorously evaluates the industry's most innovative companies, technologies and solutions, recognizing only those that are setting new standards for operational excellence, partner engagement and supply chain growth. From procurement and omnichannel logistics to AI-driven analytics, automation and last-mile innovation, these breakthrough solutions are enabling supply chain companies to adapt faster, operate smarter and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
XCOM RAN is a comprehensive private 5G solution designed to support warehouse automation, robotics, intelligent inventory management, and connected mobile assets. With ultra-low latency and enterprise-grade reliability, it provides the foundational infrastructure needed to power physical AI across complex industrial environments. The end-to-end wireless connectivity solution enables devices in smart warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and logistics hubs to move seamlessly throughout a site while maintaining continuous, high-performance connectivity, regardless of facility size or number of connected devices.
“In a warehouse environment where a delayed signal can mean a stopped robot, a missed pick, or a worker safety incident, wireless limitations are unacceptable,” said Tamer Kadous, general manager, XCOM RAN Business Unit at Globalstar. “Our solution delivers up to four times greater network capacity compared to traditional private 5G deployments, making it uniquely suited for the high-density, always-on demands of modern warehouse automation. This award exemplifies what separates us with our purpose-built solution that delivers the connectivity foundation for Physical AI. Our focus is on developing wireless solutions that meet the modern era, empowering our customers to transform operationally, and to connect and communicate in smarter ways.”
The XCOM RAN solution combines hardware, software, and orchestration into a unified platform. Its differentiated software-defined Supercell architecture, based on O-RAN standards, significantly enhances capacity, real-time control, redundancy, and shared coverage—while reducing deployment complexity. It offers flexible network configurations using the n48, n53, or n78 spectrum bands, so mission-critical applications are never competing for spectrum with neighboring facilities or external users.
Warehouse operators benefit from faster time-to-operation, lower implementation costs, and a consistent network design that scales across multiple distribution centers and fulfillment facilities.
“XCOM RAN is not an incremental improvement to private wireless; it's the next generation,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. “Modern industrial automation means physical AI is driving improved operational efficiencies in the warehousing and logistics industry. Autonomous mobile robots, AGVs, and robotic picking systems are becoming the new standard. By rethinking private 5G from the core to the device, XCOM RAN is primed for the AI-driven warehouse, giving warehouse operators the connectivity foundation they need to deploy advanced automation with confidence, scale operations efficiently, and stay competitive in an industry moving faster than ever.”
