26th June 2015 – Globalstar Inc.’s gateway in Gaborone, Botswana is now live, enabling affordable simplex coverage over the African continent. This new gateway, in partnership with Broadband Botswana Internet (BBi), provides a full line of services – including Globalstar’s SPOT portfolio of personal tracking options. The network enables professional, corporate, and government users to monitor vital infrastructure, taking advantage of the capabilities of M2M and the Internet of Things.

With much of the continent bereft of decent terrestrial and/or cellular infrastructure, Globalstar’s satellite services enable the seamless tracking of people and assets via the industry’s only complete next generation orbital constellation. It means that oil and gas providers operating in the region – as well as mining, construction, and engineering companies – can now benefit from time and resource saving features from Globalstar’s M2M-based SmartOne product line. Remote workers on land or offshore can also keep head office, customers, family and friends abreast of their location with the company’s SPOT Gen3® product, which has a lifeline button in case of emergency.

In addition to onsite connectivity benefits, the companies transporting valuable commodities will also be able to accurately track and monitor their fleets. At the core of SmartOne is a vibration sensor that alerts trucking owners to any motion, such as attempts of theft. The device accurately relays a vehicle’s location, as well as report engine runtime and monitor faults, both of which can make a difference to operational efficiencies.

“Expanding our service throughout Africa demonstrates Globalstar’s ongoing commitment to making our technology globally accessible, ” said Jay Monroe, Chairman and CEO at the company. “We see this region as a significant growth opportunity for our low cost satellite solutions. For the first time, people and industries in this burgeoning region will have access to affordable satellite solutions for personal and asset tracking and we look forward to working with BBi to make our technology available to more people and businesses across Africa.”
