Sat-Browse, powered by Yippy, significantly
decreases load times for web browsing, providing satellite users
with an enhanced data service experience
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 8, 2017 /CNW/ - Globalstar Canada Satellite
Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of 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
