GLOBALSTAR LAUNCHES EMERGENCY SATELLITE RATE PLAN

Globalstar LLC, a world leader in providing mobile satellite voice and data services to business, announced today that it is launching a new rate plan targeted specifically for use in the United States in the event of an emergency. The Globalstar Emergency Plan will be priced below $30 USD per month.

“The past two years we’ve seen devastating hurricanes hit the US Gulf coast, and many individuals and business owners have requested that we introduce an emergency rate plan that does not include a monthly airtime bundle or the associated monthly cost for those minutes, especially when the airtime may not be required on a regular basis”, said Dennis Allen, Senior Vice President, US Sales and Marketing for Globalstar LLC. Mr. Allen went on to say, “the Globalstar Emergency Plan meets those demands while still delivering all the value and peace of mind only a satellite phone can provide. It is an ideal solution for government, business, and private consumers who are looking for a proactive emergency preparedness solution. Now these customers can be prepared in the event the standard terrestrial lines of communication are significantly damaged or destroyed.”

Although the new rate plan is targeted towards those government, business and private consumers concerned about emergency preparedness or business continuity, it can be used by a host of additional potential users of satellite phones who require a low cost price plan combined with a limited monthly commitment.
