SPOT LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE

The SPOT Gen4 is part of an award-winning product portfolio that
provides an affordable and vital line of communication with
friends, family, colleagues and the GEOS International Emergency
Response Coordination Center (IERCC) using GPS location and
satellite connectivity powered by Globalstar.

and off-the-grid travel for work or pleasure,” said Dave Kagan, CEO
of Globalstar, Inc. “Through their dedicated subscriber base, we’re
able to introduce our product to a wider audience and drive the
importance of a product like the Gen4 for safety and
connectivity.”
