Globalstar Simplex Data Services Now Cover Alaska To Chile
Milpitas CA (SPX) Jul 06, 2006 Globalstar announced Wednesday its independent gateway operator in Mexico, Globalstar de Mexico, is expanding its simplex or one-way data coverage to all of Mexico and areas of northern Central America. The expansions mean Globalstar's simplex data customers will be able to access its satellite network seamlessly from Alaska and northern Canada southward to parts of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile and the Pacific coast maritime region of South America, the company said in a news release. The capability to offer simplex data services throughout Mexico and the surrounding region is the result of additional hardware being added to the ground station operated by Globalstar de Mexico. The station is used to provide customers with access to ground-based public telephone and data networks via the Globalstar satellite constellation. "Simplex data is one of our fastest growing services and with our partner Globalstar de Mexico, we anticipate seeing continued growth throughout the Mexican marketplace," said Jay Monroe, Globalstar's chairman and chief executive officer. The expansion also paves the way for Globalstar de Mexico to complete deployment of more than 13,000 simplex modems to be used in Enciclomedia, a major educational project. The company and its customers already have installed close to 3,500 simplex data modems in elementary schools, primarily located in the central region of the country, and is continuing to install units in schools throughout the Yucatan Peninsula and south Mexico. Globalstar has offered simplex data service in the United States and Canada since 2003, and throughout Europe, the Middle East and across the north Atlantic region since early 2005. The company recently announced expansion of simplex data coverage into parts of Australia and the Asia Pacific region as well as Venezuela, Latin America and parts of South America. Globalstar simplex service allows customers to track mobile assets - such as vehicles, tractor-trailers, railcars, cargo containers and marine vessels, using GPS or other location-based software. The service also can be used for a wide variety of industrial and security applications to monitor and send information from fixed assets, such as environmental measuring instruments and utility meters, or report the state of various mobile devices and their locations. Using the Globalstar satellite network and an approved integrated simplex modem solution, companies will be able to monitor their assets from virtually anywhere within the Globalstar simplex coverage area. The data are sent back to a customer's control and monitoring facility via Globalstar's constellation. This information can be received at any time from remote installations beyond the reach of ground-based communications systems.
