Globalstar satellite Phones from QUALCOMM are designed with the flexibility to meet the needs of cellular users who already consume a high volume of airtime, but find themselves in areas where cellular coverage is either unavailable, incompatible or inaccessible.
A Wide Range Of Globalstar Services Include
Voice
Paging
Short Message Service (SMS)
Display position location information
Programmable Service Provider display message
Caller ID
Voice Mail Services (VMS)
The QUALCOMM Globalstar satellite phones communicate with the satellite constellation using CDMA technology, which has been recognized for superior voice quality, reliability and security. Using LEO satellites enable the Globalstar System to maintain lower power consumption and propagation delay, resulting in a smaller sized handset with excellent voice quality, comparable, and in some cases, superior to today's digital cellular networks.

Specifications
The Globalstar Tri-Mode phone offers an ergonomic design that makes it comfortable for hand-held operation. The phone measures 400cc in total volume and weighs 384 grams. The height is 177 mm, the width is 57 mm and the thickness is 48 mm (excluding the cellular antenna). The antenna, when held in a vertical position, communicates with the Globalstar satellite at elevations more than 10 degrees above the horizon. The Globalstar antenna rotates and stows into the handset for convenience when not in use. * All measurements for height and volume include standard battery and assume the Globalstar antenna is stowed.
Talk Time/Standby Time
- In Globalstar satellite mode, the phone will sustain normal operation for 3.75 hours of talk time, 19 hours of standby time.
- In CDMA (IS-95) mode, the phone will sustain normal operation for 4.7 hours of talk time or 75 hours of standby time.
- In AMPS (IS-41) mode, the phone will sustain normal operation for 2.8 hours of talk time or 15 hours of standby time.
Globalstar's all in one state-of -the-art, 12 ounce digital satellite phone. Smaller than most cordless phones, the Globalstar Handheld satellite Phone gives you crystal-clear digital satellite voice connections and provides real-world Internet and E-mail Access with the optional Globalstar Data Kit. A full range of optional accessories including Vehicle Kits, as well as many innovative Globalstar approved third-party products help customize a solution to keep you in contact and in control.
These features provide the Globalstar user the highest level of service and convenience, which increases subscriber's satisfaction and loyalty. Globalstar portable satellite phone offers clear digital voice and data communications worldwide by utilizing QUALCOMM's Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology combined with a constellation of 48 Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Globalstar portable satellite phone is designed to provide a low cost solution to extend the ability to communicate from outside cellular and land line phones, as well as, in areas where cellular or land line phones are inaccessible due to lack of coverage or incompatible cellular technologies. North American Wall Charger included.
A caller has three choices on how to make a call:
A digital call (CDMA (IS-95))
An analog call (AMPS (IS-41) cellular systems
A Globalstar Communications system call (when digital and analog are not available)
This gives the caller greater flexibility and a way of keeping charges low. The caller only pays for Globalstar service when he needs it.
