"Don't get stuck without it……….Globalstar satellite phone. " A new testimonial at Globalstar Canada globalstar.ca " I am writing in connection to the use of a Globalstar satellite telephone on my recent expedition Labrador 2000. As you know, we were unfortunately unable to complete the planed route across Labrador and Quebec up to Ungava Bay. A combination of river conditions and physical injury meant that we were unable to continue and unable to return, finding ourselves effectively 'stuck' in one of the most remote parts of eastern Canada. This was a situation which was not improved by the existence of over seventy forest fires in the area. It was in these circumstances that we found the Globalstar satellite phone to be invaluable. Not only were we able to make that emergency call for help, but were also able to give detailed information regarding our location, supplies and condition, including the areas suitability for landing a helicopter. The fact that we had a telephone, rather than simply some kind of emergency locator beacon meant that not only were we able to pass on vital information to our rescuers, but that they were able to warn us of the fires and maintain a channel of communication during the thirty hours before we were picked up. In short, the phone saved our lives. Aside from being indispensable in our rescue, the Globalstar phone played an important role during the expedition. Regular calls to the home base with our map co-ordinates meant that not only did both the team and those at home have some peace of mind, but also that it provided an effective emergency back up system. Should we have had an accident which prevented us from making an emergency call, our failure to 'check in' would have raised the alarm and we would never have been more than a few kilometres from our last know position. The kind of peace of mind engendered by communications equipment cannot be too highly emphasized with regard to a trip of this nature - both to the home team and to those actually on the trip. The phone also allowed us to receive messages from around the world, update our web site and maintain the kind of publicity levels desired by our sponsors through easy and constant contact with the media. I wouldn't hesitate to say that the satellite phone in use on the Labrador 2000 expedition was both a vital and ultimately life saving piece of equipment and is something I would not consider venturing into the wilderness without in the future. Yours sincerely Alexandra J Pratt (Ms) Aug. 10, 2000 "
