Globalstar to Grow Ground Station Infrastructure in Greece

Satellite firm Globalstar this week announced construction of additional gateway infrastructure at its existing ground station site at OTE’s teleport in Nemea, Greece, to support its third-generation C-3 mobile satellite system.

“We again thank our US commercial services officers at our embassies around the region for their invaluable assistance in 2020 that led to our partnership with OTE, who has fully supported our expanding ground station needs,” said L. Barbee Ponder, Globalstar general counsel & VP of regulatory affairs.

Lykourgos Antonopoulos, chief commercial officer, business segment, OTE Group, added: “We are proud to be Globalstar’s partner of choice for such a significant project, which validates Greece’s strategic role in global satellite connectivity. OTE, a member of the Telekom Group, with its state-of-the-art facilities, robust fiber connectivity, and highly skilled technical personnel, ensures that we can fully support advanced satellite systems like the C‑3 constellation.”
