We provide dependable phone service, virtually everywhere.
Globalstar is a consortium of leading international telecommunications
companies originally established in 1991. We are a wholesale provider
of mobile and fixed satellite-based telephony services. We make the
methods of communication you rely on everyday available not just locally
or regionally, but globally.

With Globalstar, one phone is all you need to communicate virtually
anywhere and everywhere around the globe, simply, dependably and affordably.
|
Globalstar's constellation of 48 low-earth-orbiting (LEO) satellites,
transmits calls from your wireless phone or fixed phone station to a
terrestrial gateway, where they are passed on to existing fixed and
cellular telephone networks in more than 100 countries on 6 continents.
|
As a wholesaler, Globalstar sells access to its system to regional and
local telecom service providers around the world. These Globalstar
partners in turn, form alliances with additional providers. Ultimately,
the caller benefits because his final service provider understands the
local market and provides optimal service for the area.
|
In this way, Globalstar leverages the marketing, operating and technical
capabilities of the world's premier communications service providers.
And by extending their reach, Globalstar complements terrestrial networks,
rather than competing with them, opening up markets and bringing telephony
to entirely new areas of the world.
