Globalstar, Inc. is a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services, offering reliable communications solutions where terrestrial networks are unavailable or unreliable. The company’s core business revolves around a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation that enables voice calling, duplex data transmission, and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity across remote and underserved regions. Through partnerships with service providers and distributors worldwide, Globalstar delivers hardware, airtime plans, and value-added applications tailored to enterprise, government, maritime, energy, and consumer markets.
Globalstar’s product portfolio includes satellite telephones, data modems, asset-tracking devices, and personal emergency beacons. Its second-generation (Gen2) satellites, launched between 2010 and 2013, enhanced network capacity and performance, supporting two-way data rates of up to 9.6 kbps. The company also markets compact IoT terminals and SPOT® satellite messengers, which allow users to send preprogrammed texts, GPS coordinates, and SOS alerts in areas without cellular coverage. Complementary ground infrastructure, such as gateway earth stations and network operations centers, underpins Globalstar’s end-to-end service offerings.
Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, Globalstar began commercial operations in 2000 and went public on the NYSE American exchange under the ticker GSAT. Its network spans more than 120 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, providing near-global coverage except for extreme polar regions. The company is led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jay Monroe, supported by an executive team with deep experience in satellite technology, wireless communications, and global distribution.
