(NYSE American: GSAT), today introduced Sat-Fi2™, a lightweight, portable satellite hotspot providing reliable communications through any Wi-Fi enabled smart device. Sat-Fi2 provides seamless connectivity powered by Globalstar's modernized satellite network and represents the first product utilizing Globalstar's next generation ground infrastructure. Now available in the US and Canada, Sat-Fi2 is the Company's newest product aimed to increase business efficiencies and consumer connectivity through continuous communications, independent of the limitations provided by terrestrial cellular networks.
"Sat-Fi2 is the industry's most affordable and functional portable satellite Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing businesses, emergency service organizations, remote workers and more to have continuous communications connectivity," said Jay Monroe, Chairman and CEO of Globalstar. "We recognize that constant and seamless connectivity is critical for both business efficiency and safety, and we're pleased to introduce this best-in-class tool."
With the convenience of a new and easy-to-use Sat-Fi2 App, the device connects up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled IOS or Android devices to send and receive email and SMS text messages, transmit voice calls, access the web, post to social media and ensure access to emergency responders through the integrated S.O.S. button. Email functionality beyond cellular is seamless and the Sat-Fi2 App works on multiple platforms including Gmail, iCloud, Exchange, Outlook, Hotmail and Yahoo! When browsing the web, users will experience faster page load times through Sat-Browse, a built-in internet compression and search engine technology allowing efficient and affordable access to web-based information.
"After testing the Globalstar Sat-Fi2, we were pleasantly surprised to see a self-contained satellite hotspot that could achieve significantly faster speeds than other like products on the market and will allow businesses to get their jobs done on the move," said Eric Talman, Vice President at Satellitephonestore.com and principal Globalstar dealer.
