market and negotiate a better price before you dock.
- Arrange for access to nearby fishing grounds when
your present location doesn’t pan out.
- Send a storm alert when a sudden squall appears. With
the Globalstar Communications System you can be informed immediately
of shifts in the weather, technical problems or changes in plans. Use
the satellite phone’s position location*, digital fax† or data capabilities†.

to fishing grounds.

addition to a cabin phone. Although it is designed to operate only on-deck
with a full-sky-view rather than from an enclosed cabin, the GSP-1600
requires no installation, and also can be conveniently taken ashore or
to another vessel. Some Globalstar distributors also sell a portable maritime
kit which will allows the portable phone to be installed on a bulkhead
or panel that is connected to an RAU. This way, the satellite phone can
be used in the cabin or cockpit without sacrificing clarity or portability.
