\n\t\t\tGlobalstar is the world\'s most widely-used handheld satellite phone service, providing high-quality, low-cost voice and data services to businesses, communities and individuals around the world. Globalstar, which was established in 1991 and began commercial service in late 1999, currently offers service from virtually anywhere across over 100 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 48 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites and relayed to ground-based gateways, which then pass the call on to the terrestrial telephone network. As a result, Globalstar is able to provide a variety of telephone services to users who live, work, and travel in areas far beyond the reach of cellular networks.«Less
