Globalstar now offers Simplex coverage in previously un-served areas including parts of Western Asia and numerous maritime coastal and oceanic regions plus continuous northern hemisphere coverage across the Atlantic Ocean. The increased receiver sensitivity resulting from the network upgrades not only expands Globalstar's geographic Simplex coverage area but it also offers enhanced reliability in certain usage environments and operating conditions. The Globalstar Simplex data network is used to support a variety of emergency asset, fleet management and personal tracking applications. The company expects the increased messaging capacity and receiver sensitivity will also benefit users of Globalstar's award-winning SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ products.
