Globalstar Introduces Sat-Browse – an Advanced Compression Technology for Faster Satellite Web Access
November 08 2017 - 9:29AM
Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American:GSAT) announced today the
introduction of Sat-Browse™, a new Internet compression and search
engine technology powered by Yippy, Inc. (OTCMKTS:YIPI). Sat-Browse
enhances the Internet browsing experience for Globalstar’s
satellite subscribers through quick access to text-based
information and decreased load times for data from the web or
corporate data silos. Supporting multiple languages,
Sat-Browse allows users to stay informed when beyond cellular with
faster access to news, sports, weather and informational or
educational sites.
“With Sat-Browse, customers who rely on satellite based
communications will now be able to access web-based information
faster and more efficiently through the Globalstar satellite
network,” said Jay Monroe, Chief Executive Officer of Globalstar.
“With Yippy compression and search engine technology, we are
ensuring that data is optimized for delivery over satellite, that
the user experience is the same across all devices, and that the
service is language agnostic for regional use, collectively
resulting in an overall improvement of the customer’s off the grid
satellite communications.”
Sat-Browse works seamlessly via the Sat-Fi® app using either
Globalstar’s Sat-Fi or 9600 Data Hotspot satellite devices.
These products are used by a wide range of customers in
industries such as commercial fishing and marine, oil & gas,
forestry, mining and construction as well as outdoor sports and
recreation. Satellite customers can browse the Internet with
greater speed than before with text-based web page content loading
in seconds.
Subscribers with an existing Globalstar satellite phone and data
cable can utilize their normal data connection to take advantage of
the Sat-Browse technology using their existing Internet
browser.
“We are happy to work with Globalstar as they officially
roll out Yippy’s proprietary compression and search engine
technology. Globalstar’s subscribers will now be able to
streamline web and document access with the highest level of
security while maximizing the available satellite bandwidth for a
better overall user experience. We hope to make the world
more connected and bridge the gap for those outside terrestrial
communications,” said Richard Granville, Chief Executive Officer of
Yippy.
The Sat-Fi app is compatible with all iOS and Android powered
devices, and is available free for download through the Apple App
Store or Google Play. It is compatible with Mac and Windows
operating systems via downloads from the Globalstar website.
The Sat-Browse service is free through January 31,
2018. Visit Globalstar.com for more information and to see
