Integrator’s Reference Manual
A-4 80-99208-1 Rev. D
The map and list in Figure A-1 depict current and planned
Globalstar service coverage. Actual coverage may vary
because of Gateway deployment, local licensing and other
factors, including environmental conditions. “Service” means
that a phone can be purchased and activated in that country.
You may be able to use your Globalstar phone in areas of
extended Gateway coverage; however, neither Globalstar nor
your Service Provider warrants that call duration or quality
in these areas will meet normal system standards.
Globalstar roaming is not included. Please contact your
Service Provider for information about roaming availability.
Carriers
Each coverage territory is typically aligned with country
boundaries. A coverage territory has one or more Service
Providers (SPs) or carriers that offer service to users, similar
to a “cellular” model. Globalstar licenses the Service Provider
or carrier to offer service in a part of the worldwide coverage
area (one or more countries).
The Service Provider offers “airtime” to the OEM or end user.
It also provides a customer care center and keeps billing
records for the satellite airtime used and the data traffic sent
and received.
Service Providers vary by region around the world.
To identify the correct Service Provider in your area, refer to
the Globalstar Web page:
