CEO Dr. Paul Jacobs said, "We believe that bringing HIBLEO-XL-1 into use provides Globalstar with significant optionality as the Company grows as a major provider of connectivity in the global space economy that is expected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035. We look forward to providing operational updates on our progress as we enter a new era in Globalstar's expanding investments in connecting everyone, everywhere."
Globalstar has operated its mobile satellite network since 2000 using Big Low Earth Orbit (LEO) frequency bands, investing billions to broaden and commercialize mobile services that now support hundreds of millions worldwide. In November 2024, the company committed $1.5 billion to its third-generation C-3 system, which will add 48 satellites and about 90 new ground station antennas. Operating in the same licensed Big LEO spectrum, the C-3 satellites will deliver stronger downlinks, enhancing user experience across communications services.
The new HIBLEO-XL-1 initiative, filed through France, aims to extend Globalstar's mobile satellite services with additional orbital shells, satellites and frequency bands. These include Globalstar's current L, S and C-band frequencies, along with new MSS uplink and downlink bands and expanded feeder-link spectrum.
The company emphasizes its role in providing mission-critical communications, positioning itself as a leader in affordable, reliable LEO connectivity solutions for both consumers and industries.
