GLOBALSTAR: Globalstar at Geneva Telecom, 10 - 17 October 1999 Story Filed: Tuesday, August 03, 1999 2:00 PM EST AUG 3, 1999, M2 Communications - Globalstar will use the Geneva Telecom 99 event as the official launch of its commercial service, marking the first phase of its progressive roll-out. A variety of satellite-based phone products, including lightweight portable phones, a maritime fixed phone; a car kit; and payphones will be showcased in a special area that recreates settings of locations around the globe, enabling visitors to the booth to experience Globalstar phone calls in a mixture of environments. Additionally, representatives from Globalstar's worldwide service providers will be on hand to answer questions about service in their region, giving the booth a truly global feel. Show attendees can sample Globalstar's telephones, including Qualcomm's tri-mode (Globalstar/CDMA/AMPS) phone, Ericsson's super-light R290 dual-mode (Globalstar/GSM) phone, Telital's dual-mode handset and Schlumberger-designed pay phones. Globalstar's service will be delivered through a 48-satellite LEO constellation that will provide wireless telephone service in virtually every populated area of the world. To date, Globalstar has 32 satellites in orbit and with this number will be able to initiate a progressive regional roll-out of service this autumn. Twenty additional satellites will be launched through the remainder of the year, increasing system capacity and coverage, and forming Globalstar's final 48-satellite constellation with four spares. Globalstar has already successfully conducted its first series of voice calls, testing the satellite air interface, gateways, telephone units, and PSTN interconnect. Recent phone calls have successfully demonstrated Globalstar's patented path diversity function and have validated Globalstar's simple and reliable l system design and architecture. Based in San Jose, California.
