Globalstar Satellite Phone

Globalstar Satellite Phone



The world leader in satellite phones, Globalstar offers satellite voice and data service to businesses at remote worksites and recreational users who travel where traditional landline and cellular services do not work. The beauty of satellite technology is that you can receive a satellite phone signal anywhere in the world - there are no dead spots. Globalstar's customers include natural resource companies, commercial fishermen, government employees, recreational and travel enterprises, and public safety organizations. Globalstar satellite phones can also be rented by businesses and consumers with short-term or seasonal requirements.

Globalstar has a handheld satellite phone and two fixed - or stationary - satellite phones. The Globalstar GSP 1600 Handheld satellite phone sells for $749.00. It allows customers the same flexibility of a cell phone, but switches from terrestrial cellular telephony to satellite telephony when needed.

The GSP 1600 phone features include:

  • Crystal-clear voice quality
  • Unparalleled reliability
  • 9.6 KBps data speed
  • Automatic satellite select system
  • 3.75 hours of talk time and 19 hours of standby time
  • Extreme weather tolerance
  • Intuitive four-line display showing battery level, voicemail status, etc.

There is also a vehicle mounted car kit which will extend the Globalstar handheld unit's battery life and allow for hands free communication.

There are two fixed Globalstar satellite telephones. These telephones are meant to remain in remote offices or worksites. The GSP-2900 costs $2,495.00. The fixed phone needs to be mounted outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The phone is connected to the desk-set through the junction box.

The GSP-2900 telephone:

  • Supports an 800 ft. telephone cable or a 450 ft. data cable
  • Connects multiple telephone sets
  • Works with standard phone equipment
  • Allows remotely located residents to connect to the public telephone network

Globalstar offers the FAU 200 as a more cost effective fixed satellite phone. It costs $625 and supports three phone jacks. Like the GSP-2900, the FAU 200 satellite telephone has to be stationed outdoors with a clear view of the sky. For more information about Globalstar products go to Globalstarusa.com.
