The Globalstar System

• The Globalstar Satellite Communication System provides coverage from latitudes of 70 degrees north to 70 degrees south, through its own constellation of 40 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites

• Globalstar utilizes a version of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology based upon the IS-95 CDMA standard to provide secure and clear transmissions, with high quality voice

TITOLO: CORPORATE PRESENTATION CODICE/CODE: PSTL082 rev. 4 Date: November 17 2006 9TITOLO: CORPORATE PRESENTATION CODICE/CODE: PSTL082 rev. 4 Date: November 17 2006 9

The Globalstar System (2)

• Several satellites pick up a call, assuring that the call does not get dropped even if a phone moves out of sight of one of the satellites

• As soon as a second satellite picks up the signal and is able to contact the same terrestrial gateway, it begins to simultaneously transmit, this "soft-handoff" prevents call interruption

• Additional advantages of using Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites within the Globalstar system include no perceptible voice delay and lighter / smaller all-in-one phones.

The Globalstar System (3)

• Using Dual Mode phones, provided by Elsacom, it is easy to switch from GSM to the Globalstar satellite network and vice versa

• Quality and costs are inline with those of terrestrial networks

• Globalstar uses “Path Diversity”: enabling the terminals to connect to more than one satellite in view. Continuity of service is assured and automatically the strongest signal for optimum communication is always selected

Call Flow

• Like "bent-pipes", or mirrors in the sky, the Globalstar constellation picks up signals from over 80% of the Earth's surface, everywhere outside the extreme polar regions and some mid-ocean regions

• Users dials the desired number

• The call is routed to the nearest satellite overhead

• The satellite then routes the call to the nearest ground station / gateway

• The call is sent through the local terrestrial network to its final destination
