Maritime Testimonials  Bill Lindsey Managing Editor, Southern Boating Magazine "I am pleased to report that the "Field Test" of the Globalstar Satphone is complete, and the phone - and the testers - came through without a scratch!" "Thank you again for this opportunity. Everyone loved the phone and the service, and I have already recommended it to a number of people who have heard about our testing, and called looking for advice on what to buy." * * * Larry Rosenfeld Navigator, www.TeamAdventure.org "Team Adventure set out to break the record across the Atlantic. The record broke us this time but we will be back. Meanwhile as we sail back to a safe harbor in Nova Scotia, our Globalstar phones have been invaluable. I have been able to call all the people we need in Europe, Canada, and the US. We have coordinated standby rescue from the Canadian Coast Guard, temporary repairs at a shipyard in Nova Scotia, redirected our air shipment to France for the finish, sent bulletins out to ABCNews who has been covering the attempt with two cameramen on board, sent pictures for the many websites who are covering the attempt and been able to call our families to tell them we are OK. The ability to manage out going calls, critical incoming calls and data has been superb. The Globalstar connects faster than any modem and works transparently on the computer. We have the Marine fixed unit hooked up to a home office cordless system so we can work all over the boat inside and still be able to talk to people as we are describing situations or troubleshooting down below. Joe, thanks for your continued support. We are proud to be associated with you." * * * Mike Geissinger s/v North Star "Some of my friends in Washington, DC covered the Gulf War in 1992 using the then latest satellite phone and this is a quantum leap forward from what they used. It becomes painfully obvious quickly how much of a boon to cruisers this can be. Several days ago a fairlead block broke. Jim was able to call Garhauer and order another. He had it sent to his house where his wife will bring it to the Azores when she comes later this month. He could have as easily had it shipped to a chandlery at Horta as well. The coverage across the Atlantic has been spotless. Data has been moving at 7600 baud and voice is as clear as any cell phone. I've attached a photo to show the way they come through." * * * Chris Kelly Publisher, BoatTEST.com "The quality was so good I thought it was on cell, but I checked and it was on satellite! No turkey-gobble calling tones, and no real noticeable time delay in voice transmission. Nice product well done." * * * Jim Otton Trans-Atlantic Sailer, Europe One New Man Star Challenge 2000 "Right now my position is around 43 degrees North and 61-62 degrees West which is South of Newfoundland about 200 miles. I want to tell you this has been an absolutely perfect device: It worked fantastically." * * * Copyright© 2010 Globalstar. All rights reserved.
