Satellite Gateway Operators Integrate Global Expertise and Customer Requirements Into Affordable Multi-mode Solution Designed to Manage Location of Assets From Virtually Anywhere

MILPITAS, Calif. - Globalstar, Inc. today announced that Globalstar Independent Gateway Operator (IGO) Globalstar de Mexico has launched a multi-mode satellite asset tracking product. The new multi-mode hybrid tracking technology wireless device, or HTT, is capable of providing GPS-based asset tracking location coordinates and alert monitoring information from virtually anywhere. Globalstar will be displaying the new HTT product at the Mobile Satellite Users Association (MSUA) and Satellite 2009 Conference and Tradeshow being held in Washington, DC. later this week.

HTT provides customers with the coverage needed to effectively manage the location of their mobile assets such as tractor trailers, heavy construction vehicles, and maritime shipping containers. HTT transmits remote tracking data using either Globalstar's high quality satellite Simplex data network or terrestrial-based GSM/GPRS wireless network. HTT can also be integrated with a variety of pre-existing web-based backoffice and fleet management tools so customers can visually track their mobile assets using web-based mapping tools such as Google Earth(tm).

"Through the collaborative efforts of Globalstar's world-wide service providers, our customers have an effective and affordable solution to manage and track the location of their mobile assets virtually anywhere," said Marty Neilsen, Vice President, New Business Ventures for Globalstar, Inc. Mr. Neilsen added, "Using input from other Globalstar IGOs, Globalstar de Mexico designed its HTT device to be easily integrated with current web based mapping capability. HTT demonstrates how Globalstar partners can collaborate, design and deliver a user-friendly solution to a growing international machine-to-machine marketplace."

"Companies' products and supplies travel throughout the globe, often times with complex logistics, to reach their worldwide markets. It became crucial that those companies have the ability to pinpoint the location of their products and materials in real-time at the lowest cost possible and with the most effectiveness for their logistics departments. That is the mission of the HTT and of Globalstar de Mexico," said Eduardo Pacheco, C.E.O. of Globalstar de Mexico. "The HTT allows our customers to enjoy the pricing and coverage advantages offered by each wireless technology," added Mr. Pacheco.

Globalstar's Simplex data offering is a high quality, highly reliable one-way satellite data service that permits customers to use Simplex data solutions such as HTT and integrated back office management solutions to manage personnel and mobile assets using GPS or other location-based software. Simplex data service can also be used for a wide variety of industrial and geo-fencing or security applications to monitor and send information from fixed assets, such as environmental measuring instruments, utility meters, or report the state of various mobile sensor devices and their locations.

Globalstar Mexico has already begun distribution of HTT and commenced testing with a number of commercial customers interested in its fleet management capabilities.
