Globalstar has announced that construction has started to double the size of its existing ground station in Estonia to assist the expansion of its mobile satellite system and services.
“Our ground station in Estonia, like our facilities in Greece, Spain, and France, is supporting critical communications, including emergency SOS services, to millions of people across Europe,” said L. Barbee Ponder, general counsel & VP of regulatory affairs for Globalstar. “These additional investments in Estonia and other expansions of our international ground stations support critical communications in areas where there are no terrestrial mobile networks and in situations where terrestrial mobile networks are disabled due to a natural disaster or man-made events.”
“Globalstar is a good example of a company that provides innovative, vital telecommunication services in the region. It is also an acknowledgement that the Estonian business ecosystem is a good fit for such value chains. This expansion gives us confidence to further develop the space sector,” said Mihkel Kärg, regional investment consultant for the Estonian Entrepreneurship and Innovation Foundation.
