About Globalstar  Globalstar offers high quality, low-cost satellite voice and data services to commercial and recreational users from virtually anywhere in more than 120 countries around the world. Globalstar, which was established in 1991 and began commercial service in late 1999, currently offers service from virtually anywhere across over 120 countries, as well as from most territorial waters and several mid-ocean regions. Signals from a Globalstar phone or modem are received by the company's constellation of Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites and relayed to ground-based gateways, which then pass the call on to the terrestrial telephone network. As a result, Globalstar is able to provide a variety of telephone services to users who live, work, and travel in areas far beyond the reach of cellular networks. In addition to normal voice communications, these services* include: Internet and private data network connectivity Position location SMS (short messaging service) Call forwarding These services are supported by a growing range of products and accessories designed to make Globalstar service productive and easy-to-use in almost any situation or environment, including aviation and maritime applications. The company's data modem products can also be used for asset tracking and environmental telemetry applications. Looking ahead, Globalstar intends to continue expanding its operations to provide service in the few remaining land areas not covered today, as well as across mid-ocean regions. Products and accessories will also continue to be developed and upgraded to make the service even more useful. *Availability of individual services may vary by location. Copyright© 2009 Globalstar.
