Globalstar, Inc. is a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services, offering connectivity solutions when terrestrial networks are unavailable. The company operates a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation that supports both simplex and duplex satellite communications. Its network enables reliable voice calls, two-way data communication, and emergency messaging for a diverse range of commercial, industrial and consumer applications.
The company’s product portfolio includes SPOT® satellite messengers and asset-tracking devices, which leverage its simplex data capabilities for GPS-based location reporting, customizable check-in messaging, and SOS emergency alerts. In addition to consumer-oriented hardware, Globalstar delivers machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that allow enterprises to monitor assets, gather remote sensor data and automate field operations. These services are supported by a global ground station and network operations center infrastructure designed to ensure high network availability and scalable throughput.
Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, Globalstar launched its first-generation satellites in the late 1990s and subsequently upgraded to a second-generation constellation with launches completed in the early 2010s. The company emerged from a Chapter 11 reorganization in 2004, refocused its strategy on core satellite communications and has since pursued partnerships with device manufacturers, resellers and corporate customers to expand its service footprint worldwide.
Globalstar’s network serves customers across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, with particular strengths in remote and underserved regions. Its strategic emphasis on low-latency LEO satellite technology and a diversified hardware and service portfolio positions the company to address growing demand for reliable global connectivity in oil and gas, maritime, transportation, agriculture and public safety sectors.
