GLOBALSTAR OVERVIEW: Globalstar has had technical problems since 2007. It is currently in the process of launching new satellites. The second generation of Globalstar satellites will offer voice, data, and short message reception. Please call Outfitter Satellite for additional information. Globalstar uses "bent pipe" signal routing so that if one of its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites orbiting 878 miles above the earth can simultaneously see you and a Globalstar gateway, the call can be routed. Globalstar satellite phones with a Texas, Florida, or Alaska area code are available. The newest and smallest mobile handset is the GSP-1700 by Qualcomm which weighs just over 7 oz. (see right top). Optional accessories include docking stations for your car or boat, with varying cable lengths to allow for positioning of your external Globalstar antenna. Several Globalstar phone models allow for traditional analog phone or PBX connections. TRADE-IN OPPORTUNITIES: Outfitter Satellite offers our clients a variety of trade-in opportunities for Globalstar equipment. We currently offer $100 for an operational GSP-1600 standard kit being traded in towards the purchase of an Inmarsat IsatPhonePRO. Please call for complete information. This trade-in offer may not be available in combination with other offers. All offers expire without notice.
