Satellite messaging and emergency notification technologies
Globalstar demonstrates why it is the best port of call for affordable and reliable satellite communications at Wind and Water 2016
Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd., the leader in satellite messaging and emergency notification technologies will showcase a wide array of solutions on stand 47A at the 28th annual Wind and Water Warsaw Boat Show, 10-13 March 2016, MT Polska Convention Centre, Warsaw, Poland.
One of the highlights of the show will be Globalstar Sat-Fi™, the world’s most powerful satellite hotspot. Even if you are on lakes or at sea hundreds of miles from home, Sat-Fi allows up to eight crew members at a time to send texts, emails and make calls using their existing smartphone or tablet.
Globalstar has been steadily building a reputation in the leisure marine community for state-of-the-art and highly affordable satellite communication solutions. Globalstar has the only complete second generation satellite constellation in orbit today, resulting in reliable, clear voice and data connectivity for crews when they cannot rely on the mobile phone network. Also, because Globalstar’s satellites traverse the globe in low earth orbit, communications are free of annoying latency, ensuring voice and data connectivity is sustained.
At Wind and Water 2016, visitors to Globalstar’s stand can learn more about how these innovations can help them stay connected even while recreationally fishing on a lake, sailing near-shore, or navigating the high seas on a superyacht:
