MADRID--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT), a next-generation telecommunications infrastructure and technology provider, today announces the execution of definitive agreements with Telecom Castilla-La Mancha, S.A. ('Telecom CLM') to expand the Alcazar Teleport in Castilla La Mancha, Spain, with additional ground station antennas and associated infrastructure. These further investments will support Globalstar's launch and operation of its previously announced third-generation mobile satellite services network, the C-3 System.
With today's announced expansion, Globalstar will effectively double the size of its existing footprint at the Alcazar Teleport by adding three new tracking antennas and supporting infrastructure. This upgrade strengthens the foundation of Globalstar's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation and will support a wide range of next-generation mobile satellite services for hundreds of millions of people across Europe, meeting growing demand for resilient, uninterrupted connectivity.
'The global expansion of our ground infrastructure to support our next-generation C-3 System now stretches to Europe to include the Alcazar Teleport, an essential facility to Globalstar's provision of service throughout the region,' said L. Barbee Ponder, General Counsel & Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. 'We are pleased to grow our important partnership with Telecom CLM. Globalstar maintained service continuity during the recent power outages that affected both Spain and Portugal, supporting critical communications capabilities even when mobile terrestrial networks were offline.'
Recent widespread power outages affecting parts of Spain and Portugal highlighted the need for dependable communications alternatives. While terrestrial mobile networks were offline, Globalstar's satellite network remained fully operational, providing uninterrupted service to its users.
'Telecom CLM is proud to support this significant enhancement effort,' said Wenceslao Sánchez de la Peña, Director of Telecom CLM. 'As more sectors rely on satellite for safety, tracking, and data continuity, it's vital to work with a partner like Globalstar that consistently delivers reliable and resilient infrastructure.'
Alcazar represents a further step in a significant expansion of Globalstar's ground infrastructure. Reinforcing ground station capabilities in Spain underpins Globalstar's strategic initiative to bring next-generation mobile satellite connectivity to the world.
