Globalstar has announced significant momentum in the government market through recent contract awards and strategic partnerships. Drawing on its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation, licensed spectrum assets, and advanced networking technologies, the company is delivering mission-critical communications solutions for defence and other government agencies and applications.
Recent contract awards and expanding government solutions capabilities include the successful completion of a proof of concept with Parsons, a defence technology provider. The software-defined waveform technology addresses crucial challenges in compromised signal environments and was developed to enable rapid deployment across diverse, mission-critical environments. This partnership is expected to provide accelerated go-to-market channels for other Globalstar products and services.
Globalstar also entered into a cooperative research and development agreement with the US Army to demonstrate Edge computing capabilities for enhanced situational awareness and decision-making in tactical environments. This collaboration, combined with expanding opportunities for secure asset tracking and location services, reflects the versatility of Globalstar’s satellite solutions.
With current contracts expected to generate a minimum of $60 million in revenue over the next five years, Globalstar’s growing government customer base is projected to significantly increase this revenue category. In addition, the company’s expanding pipeline of opportunities across defense and government agencies positions this market vertical to deliver revenue significantly larger than current contracted minimums.
“These recent wins validate the mission-critical reliability of our satellite and terrestrial solutions in the most demanding operational environments,” said Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, CEO, Globalstar. “The government area of our business has established a strong foothold and represents an important growth driver for the company.”
