Publicly Owned Globalstar, a subsidiary of Amazon and headquartered in the United States, was founded in 1993 and employs approximately 400 individuals. The company reported $273.0M in revenue as of 2025. Globalstar provides mobile satellite services and terrestrial wireless connectivity, operating a proprietary constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to deliver communication solutions in remote areas where terrestrial networks are unavailable or unreliable. Its business model focuses on a "Satellite-as-a-Infrastructure" strategy, which includes a partnership with Apple to power Emergency SOS via satellite for the iPhone, as well as an agreement to expand the Amazon LEO satellite network. Leveraging its spectrum assets (Band n53) and terrestrial radio technology (XCOM RAN), Globalstar offers connectivity for industrial IoT, emergency services, and consumer safety on a global scale.
Globalstar successfully launched and deployed its latest satellites on September 10, 2026, a move that marks a significant milestone in the continued expansion of its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. Previously, on September 4, 2026, an unsealed lawsuit alleged that Globalstar Inc.'s chief executive wrongly expropriated an AI-driven industrial automation platform. This platform, described in the lawsuit as the "crown jewel" of Globalstar's $11.6 billion sale to Amazon.com Inc., was reportedly taken from another business the CEO founded.
