"Globalstar is better positioned than ever to lead the growing
market for commercial satellite services," said Jay Monroe,
Chairman and CEO of Globalstar. "With the world's first revitalized
satellite network, Globalstar provides unsurpassed call quality,
the fastest data speeds and exceptional value for users requiring
connectivity in even more remote places. We invite customers to
hear and experience the distinct difference that sets Globalstar
apart from the competition, and are backing that invitation up with
the offer of a free satellite phone."
"Our business customers are increasingly asking us for new and
robust satellite communications solutions to meet their off-grid
connectivity challenges," said Rod Riopel of Spectrum Telecom.
"Over the past year we've seen an increase in demand for affordable
satellite voice and data products. With its new satellite network
now in place, we recommend Globalstar to our customers because of
the reliability, superior voice quality, value, and flexibility
that our customers need to be productive from areas beyond
cellular."
With an estimated two billion people living or working in areas
that are either underserved or totally unserved by terrestrial and
traditional cellular networks, the market for commercial satellite
services is expanding. Since completing the deployment of its
industry leading satellite network last year, Globalstar has
expanded its product offerings. In the past years, Globalstar has
widened its distribution channels adding hundreds of new dealers in
North America, making it easier than ever for customers to find the
right solutions to meet their needs. For companies operating in
industries such as energy, marine, government and forestry, and for
customers requiring emergency preparedness and business continuity
solutions, Globalstar offers a comprehensive line of satellite
voice, duplex and simplex data products, and flexible services that
meet customer needs for productivity, ease-of-use, reliability and
affordability.
Globalstar's expanded satellite product and service offerings
include:
GSP-1700 Satellite Phone
Globalstar's lightweight, easy to use voice and data enabled
satellite phone provides industry-leading, crystal clear voice
quality for users requiring reliable connectivity outside the range
of cellular service. At $499, the GSP-1700 is the most inexpensive
satellite phone available.
Sat-Fi
Globalstar has introduced an MSS solution that instantly turns
any smartphone, tablet or computer into a satellite phone or data
device, enabling users to communicate seamlessly via satellite.
No-Contract, Shared and Personal Prepaid Services
Globalstar has introduced a no-contract, shared and personal
prepaid service providing customers with expanded choices.
- Shared Prepaid provides individual users with the ability to
make calls on anyone's Globalstar phone. Multiple users can place
calls on the same Globalstar phone without incurring charges on the
primary account - ideal for crew calling on ships or any remote
operations where multiple people need access to satellite
communications.
- Personal Prepaid allows customers to pay up front for the
service they need, helping address the ever growing market for
seasonal users
Large Home Zone
Globalstar has extended users' home zone so there are no roaming
charges when travelling across regions including Canada, the U.S.,
Europe, Brazil and North Africa, as well as the Atlantic,
Mediterranean and North Sea.
STX3 Global Simplex Transmitter
Globalstar has introduced the world's lowest power-consuming
satellite network chipset for global M2M (machine-to-machine)
solutions. Roughly the size of a quarter, the STX3 can operate for
many months or years without requiring human intervention. Low-cost
and easy-to-integrate, the STX3 chipset enables VARs and OEMs to
develop smaller, more efficient M2M solutions for backup
communication options beyond the reach of the GPRS/GSM network.
