Globalstar,a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services to businesses and individuals, announced today the introduction of its next generation satellite telephone handset. The new GSP-1700 mobile satellite telephone operates on the Globalstar satellite network in more than 120 countries and six continents around the world.
ESATO NEWS
The new handset sets a benchmark for satellite telephones capable of global satellite use, incorporating Globalstar hardware features into a product offering significantly reduced size and weight when compared to other global satellite handsets. The GSP-1700 is being manufactured by QUALCOMM and incorporates its Mobile Station Modem™ (MSM™) MSM6500™ chipset solution for EV-DO networks.
Weighing approximately 7.1ounces (203 grams),the newly designed GSP-1700 telephone is nearly half the weight of the company’s current satellite handset and close to 45 percent smaller (by volume). The new lithium-ion battery is designed to provide users with four hours of talk time and 36 hours of standby time. The GSP-1700’s lightweight ergonomic design embodies the ruggedness of the current Globalstar phone while integrating convenience-oriented features such as a new five-mode color display and portable headset capability. The phone supports six operating languages and is available in three vibrant faceplate colors, using durable high-luster or metallic finishes.
Globalstar has begun a progressive rollout of the new handset. Over the upcoming months, various Globalstar operators around the world will be making launch announcements introducing the GSP-1700. Globalstar also plans to introduce an array of satellite phone accessories enabling usage for both land-based and marine applications. Globalstar plans to launch an updated handset data package, a maritime and in car installation kit, and a remote antenna for convenient and low cost in-vehicle use.For additional product details and images please visit the new product web site at www.globalstar.com/en/gsp1700
