Globalstar Satellites

There are primarily two different types of satellites used to deliver voice and data services to customers: LEO (low-Earth Orbit) and GEO (geostationary Orbit). Globalstar has built their network using LEO satellites because of their ability to deliver superb voice quality.

Globalstar utilises a version of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology based upon the IS-95 CDMA standard. CDMA technology forms the foundation for 3G (Third Generation) wireless services, which are in use by over 128 million people around the world. This digital transmission technology allows a large number of wireless customers to simultaneously access a single radio frequency channel.
