Globalstar Network - Intermittent Coverage

As previously announced, many Globalstar satellites are experiencing an anomaly resulting in seriously degraded performance of the amplifiers for the S-band satellite communications antenna. The anomaly is adversely affecting two-way voice and data services.

Globalstar coverage/service has become intermittent within its coverage areas and at certain times at any given location it may take substantially longer to establish calls and the duration of calls may be limited as signal fluctuates. Until the new second-generation Globalstar satellite constellation is operational, users can use a web-based Call Times Tool, which will allow users to predict when and for how long they will have. to.
