COVINGTON, La. — Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT) said it has installed three new six-meter C-3 tracking antennas at its ground station in Yeoju, South Korea, as part of a broader effort to expand its satellite ground infrastructure supporting East Asia services.
The company said the Yeoju facility has supported Globalstar’s mobile satellite services in the region for more than two decades and that the additional antennas are intended to improve network redundancy and capacity for its next-generation mobile satellite offerings, including Internet of Things (IoT) and device-to-device (D2D) services.
“With Yeo Ju, Globalstar has now announced construction projects related to its third-generation C-3 system that are ongoing at 15 different locations in nine countries on four continents,” said L. Barbee Ponder, Globalstar’s general counsel and vice president of regulatory affairs.
Globalstar said the South Korea installation is part of a wider global expansion that includes plans for up to 90 new tracking antennas to support its third-generation C-3 satellite system.
The company provides satellite and terrestrial connectivity services through a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation and its Band 53/n53 spectrum, serving enterprise, business and consumer markets worldwide.
