Clarity of Voice

Qualcomm's CMDA (Code Division Multiple Access) technology makes Globalstar calls
exceptionally secure and clear, with high cellular-like voice quality.

Almost No Perceptible Voice Delay

Use of Low-Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites, moving at an altitude of 1,414 kilometers,
almost no perceptible voice delay, compared to the noticeable time delay and echo effect
of calls on geosynchronous satellites, which orbit at much higher elevations.

Reliability

The Globalstar system software resides on, and is monitored from the ground, for quick &
economical system maintenance and upgrades.

Fewer Dropped Calls

Globalstar's smart system design is based on overlapping satellite coverage, so several
satellites can be available from a given location to make or receive calls. This "path
diversity" results in a greater likelihood of establishing calls for customers and far less
chance of dropping calls than other systems.

Lighter, All-in-one Handsets

Qualcomm's Globalstar mobile phone is three phones in one with built-in technology to
easily access 800 MHz analog cellular, digital CDMA cellular, as well as the Globalstar
satellite system. The phones are available with many accessories, such as car and marine
kits, which extend the phone's uses even further.

Lower Price

Globalstar's network of worldwide partners and service providers allows the company to
take advantage of existing infrastructures, knowledge, and relationships. Our simpler
technology and higher system capacity - has helped Globalstar build it's robust network at
a lower cost than competing systems, resulting in a better system that provides more
economical service to the customer.
