“We are delighted to be working with Globalstar. This partnership will help to advance Wireless Innovation’s end-to-end satellite communications service and allow us to offer a broad range of cost-effective simplex services to customers in the transportation and maritime industries”, said Phil Rouse, Managing Director, Wireless Innovation Ltd.
Globalstar is currently planning to launch six additional LEO (low-earth orbit) satellites in early February 2013, completing its second-generation satellite launches. The Globalstar second-generation satellite constellation is designed to support the Company's current line-up of voice, Duplex and Simplex M2M data products and services including its suite of SPOT retail consumer products. The new satellites are designed to last for 15 years, twice the lifespan of Globalstar's first-generation satellites.
