Kev, I like they way you think...

"Now a company like Globalstar may not be looking to replace its satellite operations with stratellites (could be once the technology is fully operational and tested), but it would make alot of sense to use Stratellites to cover holes in their system and especially to act as a backup system that could be deployed in a couple of weeks when a satellite has an anomaly. Sure beats the time it takes to get a new satellite up and operational. Sure would make a big difference to your customers."


Interesting article ( July 2008 ) on Leo Satellites... namely Globalstar

Mentions... “promises, challenges and perceptions”

“Globalstar one of only two companies providing handheld service in North America, is experiencing satellite anomalies which present perhaps the most visible and immediate risks, and the company has confirmed in filings with the FCC that there are times of the day when its coverage for voice services falls short of the level expected under the Commission’s rules.”

Second “info box” down says... “voice service limited to satellite anomalies; sporadic although predictable outages"

Third “info box” down... for Globalstar it says...”terrestrial partner needed”

Makes me think of Sanswire too...

“In this role, the Sanswire LTA platforms would act as a surrogate Globalstar ground station.”




Oh to ride the wind,
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh alaud,
Dancing as we fought the crowd
