Globalstar, a publicly owned company founded in 1991 and headquartered in the US, provides connectivity and distribution services. Employing approximately 400 people, the company operates a low Earth orbit satellite constellation to deliver satellite phone and low-speed data communication services.
On September 19, 2025, satellite operators, including Globalstar, requested the Federal Communications Commission exempt their operations from environmental review. This request prompted opposition from scientists and state attorney generals who cited the documented effects of satellite operations within the U.S. Separately, a recent increase in Globalstar's stock price was noted, showing a 17.2% jump over the past week, a 40.9% gain in 30 days, a more than 90% climb in the last year, and a 669% return over five years. Globalstar also held a webinar on September 20, 2025, focusing on fleet monitoring and tracking using Globalstar SmartOne Solar technology. The webinar highlighted the importance of real-time visibility for efficiency, safety, and compliance.
