NEW ORLEANS, PCIA PCS '99 Booth #4120, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced the availability of its tri-mode Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) satellite portable phone to operate on the Globalstar(TM) low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite communications system.
The tri-mode portable phone provides access to the Globalstar network, an advanced combination of satellite and wireline technology, as well as access to cellular networks using QUALCOMM's cdmaOne(TM) or analog technology. The handset is the first in the world to eliminate size, dimension and cost barriers of previous satellite phones brought to market.
"We're excited to introduce our new CDMA Globalstar handset to the marketplace," said Jerry Beckwith, president, QUALCOMM Wireless Systems. "The commercial availability of our Globalstar phone represents a significant step forward as the smallest and lightest CDMA satellite phone in the world."
The QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 satellite phone offers clear digital voice communications and supports features such as global roaming, position location display, short messaging service (SMS), paging, caller identification (ID) and user interface for multiple languages.
QUALCOMM and AirTouch are also responsible for the development of the Globalstar gateways. The Globalstar gateways interconnect with local wireline and cellular service providers to offer global roaming, cellular extension and remote services to all market segments.
