Globailstar GO FURTHER DO MORE, Overview of Satellite Constellation and Ground Network Globalstar operates a constellation of low—earth—orbit (LEO) satellites — Constellation orbits at 1,414 km (~ 850 miles) while Geostationary (GEO) satellites orbit at approximately 22,240 miles & ~ LEO is a global constellation of Low Earth Orbiting satellites, while each GEO satellite covers a specific region of the earth‘s surface at any given time — Advantages to LEOs include: o Virtually no latency o Lower power requirements for handsets and data terminals o Network and satellite redundancy Globalstar‘s "Bent—Pipe" architecture provides communications through a network of 26 terrestrial gateways around the world — Architecture offers enhanced voice quality and substantially lower build— out costs compared to mesh network configurations — "Brains" of the system are located in the control centers in California and the ground stations, enabling faster and more cost—effective system maintenance and upgrades
