Qualcomm Demos Internet Access Via Globalstar To: Rocket Scientist who wrote (10401) From: David Wiggins Tuesday, Feb 29, 2000 12:24 PM ET Reply # of 10411 Source: Newsbytes Qualcomm [NASDAQ:QCOM] said it will stage a demonstration of Internet access and packet data capability via the Globalstar satellite service at the CTIA Wireless 2000 show when it opens today in New Orleans. The telecommunications hardware vendor said that it has been working on packet data transmissions across the Globalstar network for some time and, if all goes well, it plans to start commercial field trials of the service this summer. Qualcomm said that the new service will allow users in virtually any populated area in the world to communicate with their corporate data networks and access the Internet, or to send and receive e-mail messages. Internet access can be made by connecting a Qualcomm GSP-1600 mobile phone to a laptop computer to access e-mail and transmit information from virtually any location at speeds of up to 9,600 bits per second (bps), the firm said. Qualcomm Wireless President Jerry Beckwith said that his firm has been conducting packet data tests over the Globalstar network through its San Diego test facility for several months and is now ready to demonstrate the technology to the public. ------------------ Regards, Dave
