GLOBALSTAR DEBUTS WORLD’S SMALLEST, LIGHTEST HANDSET FOR USE ON A GLOBAL SATELLITE NETWORK

Next generation Globalstar GSP-1700 satellite handset manufactured by QUALCOMM

MILPITAS, CA., November 09 2006 - Globalstar, Inc., a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services to businesses and individuals, announced today the introduction of its next generation satellite telephone handset. The new GSP-1700 mobile satellite telephone operates on the Globalstar satellite network in more than 120 countries and six continents around the world. The new handset sets a benchmark for satellite telephones capable of global satellite use, incorporating Globalstar hardware features into a product offering significantly reduced size and weight when compared to other global satellite handsets. The GSP-1700 is being manufactured by QUALCOMM and incorporates its Mobile Station Modem™ (MSM™) MSM6500™ chipset solution for EV-DO networks.

Weighing approximately 7.1ounces (203 grams), the newly designed GSP-1700 telephone is nearly half the weight of the company’s current satellite handset and close to 45 percent smaller (by volume). The new lithium-ion battery is designed to provide users with four hours of talk time and 36 hours of standby time. The GSP-1700’s lightweight ergonomic design embodies the ruggedness of the current Globalstar phone while integrating convenience-oriented features such as a new five-mode color display and portable headset capability. The phone supports six operating languages and is available in three vibrant faceplate colors, using durable high-luster or metallic finishes.

“We are extremely excited about our next generation Globalstar handset and very pleased it once again integrates innovative QUALCOMM 3G technology,” said Jay Monroe, Chairman and CEO of Globalstar, Inc. Mr. Monroe added, “ As the smallest and lightest Globalstar handset ever produced, the GSP-1700 sets a new standard by incorporating our manufacturer’s multi-frequency technology. Additionally our proposed second-generation satellite constellation is intended to provide our customers with long term continuity of service by being fully backwards compatible with both the GSP-1700 and our current products."

Globalstar has begun a progressive rollout of the new handset. Over the upcoming months, various Globalstar operators around the world will be making launch announcements introducing the GSP-1700. Globalstar also plans to introduce an array of satellite phone accessories enabling usage for both land-based and marine applications. Globalstar plans to launch an updated handset data package, a maritime and in car installation kit, and a remote antenna for convenient and low cost in-vehicle use.
