Alcatel-Lucent said Monday that its space unit won a €661 million contract (US$882 million) with Globalstar Inc. to design, manufacture and deliver 48 low-earth-orbit satellites.

The contract also includes the provision of support services before and during the launches and mission operations support. California-based Globalstar provides mobile satellite voice and data services to businesses.

The agreement "not only secures the Globalstar space segment through at least 2025, but also takes us another step to offering a host of exciting future services," said Globalstar Chief Executive Jay Monroe.

Globalstar satellites will have a lifetime of 15 years. <<
