SYDNEY, May 6 Asia Pulse - A satellite digital mobile service has been launched by Vodafone Australasia Ltd to provide coverage across 100 per cent of Australia. The Globalstar service will be fully integrated with Vodafone's existing cellular telephone network and will provide users with high quality telephony and other digital telecommunications services in areas now not served well or, in some cases, at all. "Wherever they are in Australia, in urban and rural areas, Australians will have access to all Vodafone services," Vodafone Australasia chief executive Brian Clark said. "Vodafone will be the only mobile phone network to have fully integrated service providing 100 per cent coverage of the Australian continent and 100 per cent of the Australian population," he said. In Australia, the Globalstar service will be delivered through a 52 satellite low earth orbiting (LEO) constellation. Of these satellites, 20 have been successfully launched and the remainder will be in orbit by the end of 1999. Because the Globalstar service will be fully integrated, the dual-mode handset will be able to switch from global systems mobile (GSM) to satellite when the GSM signal is lost. The Vodafone GlobalStar service will search for a GSM signal first and if one can not be found, it will automatically route the call by satellite. "For the first time, Australians will be able to travel across the country and make or receive mobile phone calls as well as send and receive faxes, messages and data with a single phone which will perate seamlessly via GSM or satellite, depending on the location of the user," Dr Clark said. Globalstar LP is a partnership of the world's leading telecommunications service providers and equipment manufacturers. It is based in San Jose, California and is led by founding partner Loral Space and Communications. Other groups involved include, AirTouch, Alcatel, DACOM, DaimlerChrysler Aerospace and France Telecom. Dr Clark said Vodafone's merger with AirTouch has enable this launch of Globalstar. Vodafone is constructing three Globalstar gateways or switching stations in Australia, at Dubbo in New Sourth Wales, Meekatharra in Western Australia and Mt Isa in Queensland. These gateways will switch calls received via the Globalstar satellites onto other networks in Australian and internationally in an identical fashion to GSM base stations. Globalstar's LEO constellation will provide wireless services to "virtually every" area of the world between the latitudes of 70 degrees north and 70 degrees south, Vodafone said.
