- Global Roaming
- Compatibility with existing AMPS and COMA (IS-95) cellular networks
- Superior Digital Voice Quality
- Reliable Service
Globalstar Tri-Mode Phones from QUALCOMM are designed with the flexibility to meet the needs of cellular users who already consume a high volume of airtime, but find themselves in areas where cellular coverage is either unavailable, incompatible or inaccessible. QUALCOMM's Globalstar Tri-Mode Phone is designed to compliment existing fixed and cellular telephone networks by switching from terrestrial cellular telephony to satellite telephony as required. Interoperability between the Globalstar communications system and cellular Service Providers is assured, and the subscriber maintains a convenient single point of billing. These features provide the Globalstar user the highestlevel of service and convenience, which increases subscriber's satisfaction and loyalty to the cellular Service Provider.
Globalstar Tri-mode portable phone offers clear digital voice and data communications worldwide by utilizing QUALCOMM's Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology combined with a constellation of 48 Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Globalstar Tri-mode portable phone is designed to provide a low cost solution to extend the ability to communicate from outside cellular and land line phones, as well as, in areas where cellular or land line phones are inaccessible due to lack of coverage or incompatible cellular technologies. North American Wall Charger included.
The QUALCOMM Globalstar phones communicate with the satellite constellation
using CDMA technology, which has been recognized for superior voice quality,
reliability and security. Using LEO satellites enable the Globalstar System
to maintain lower power consumption and propagation delay, resulting in a smaller
sized handset with excellent voice quality, comparable, and in some cases, superior
to today's digital cellular networks.
