Product Capability

●  Connects any Wi-Fi enabled device (e.g., tablets, smartphones and laptops) to Globalstar’s satellite network for full voice and data services beyond the range of cellular networks and provides user continuous coverage by connecting to satellite network

●  Extends wireless beyond cellular and allows for 100% coverage in any targeted territory while allowing high quality connectivity for voice and data where the economics of a macro build do not support capital deployment

●  Provides alternative to international terrestrial roaming

●  Sat-Fi to be released in Q2 2014 – targets government and enterprise customers. With the completion of Second-Generation ground infrastructure by end 2015, a $100 Hughes-based consumer capable device planned for rollout at that time.

●  Opportunity to deliver connectivity in territories not served terrestrially – ability to monetize 75% of the Earth’s landmass not covered by terrestrial communications

Globalstar’s TLPS Solution

Globalstar’s unique worldwide authority across its S-band allows for the potential for global deployment of TLPS. Company expects that other regions, including Canada and the European Union in the near-term, will adopt similar terrestrial use authorizations as the FCC; in addition Globalstar will seek authorization in other developed and developing countries.
