Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT), today announced
that the Kingdom of Thailand’s Office of The National Broadcasting
and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has authorized the
provision of Globalstar mobile satellite services throughout
Thailand, including the authority to operate its new ground station
at Thaicom’s Teleport Center in Patumthani province north of
Bangkok.
“Globalstar is the first and only LEO constellation of
satellites to be authorized to provide service in the Kingdom of
Thailand,” said L. Barbee Ponder, Globalstar General Counsel, and
Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. “Our new ground station at
Thaicom’s Teleport Center joins twenty-seven other stations in
seventeen countries to provide the finest mobile satellite
services, including critical Emergency SOS communications, to
hundreds of millions of people globally. These achievements would
not have been possible without the support of our partner, Thaicom
Public Company Limited.”
“We are very pleased to partner with Globalstar,” said Patompob
(Nile) Suwansiri, Thaicom’s Chief Executive Officer. “This
collaboration is a strategic move in expanding our portfolio of
cooperation with a leading global LEO operator which will
complement our existing satellite services. Our experience and
expertise in the satellite industry, along with Globalstar’s
world-class services for personnel safety and management will serve
to provide our customers with advanced satellite solutions for the
digital era. We believe this strategic alliance between the two
companies will lay the foundation for a long-term relationship and
sustainable growth in the satellite industry in this region.”
