2015

Also in December 2015, the company reached settlements with GPS companies Garmin Ltd., Deere & Co. and Trimble Navigation Ltd. to establish how the company and GPS companies can coexist.

On December 7, 2015, the company emerged from bankruptcy as a new company under the control of Centerbridge Partners, Fortress Investment Group and JPMorgan Chase & Co.; Harbinger retained minority ownership.

2016

The company announced its new name, Ligado Networks, on February 10, 2016.

2021

The second warning came on June 22, 2021, when Senators Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced a bill to require Ligado to pay private companies the cost of replacing or repairing GPS devices that were harmed by its operations.

Harbinger Capital Partners, Ligado’s investors, spent $3.3 million on lobbyists in the first three quarters of 2021.
