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.
