Sanswire's Lighter Than Air UAV To Be Tested As A Surrogate Ground Station


Sanswire Corp. (PINKSHEETS: SNSR) has entered into an agreement with Global Telesat Corp. (GTC), a provider of satellite-based tracking and monitoring services and satellite-based airtime to government and commercial end users of Globalstar, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: GSAT) global mobile satellite system. The agreement calls for further testing and planning for a lighter than air (LTA) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) solution integrating technologies from all three of the companies. The agreement provides GTC with an opportunity to invest in Sanswire and calls for Sanswire to study the integration of GTC's satellite simplex data transmission systems, called "appliqués," with Sanswire's LTA platforms to allow data communications in areas of the world not yet covered by Globalstar's gateway earth stations. In this role, the Sanswire LTA platforms would act as a surrogate Globalstar ground station.
