Globalstar signed agreements with Globalstar independent gateway operator, TESACOM to launch distribution of the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger in Argentina, Chile and Paraguay.
SPOT uses a combination of satellite messaging and GPS location based technology to provide peace-of-mind for consumers who spend time in the outdoors or who want to stay connected.
The handheld device determines a user’s GPS location coordinates and transmits that location and the user’s status using the Globalstar satellite network. In an emergency, SPOT can send a message including the user’s GPS coordinates to an emergency response call-centre. SPOT’s web tracking functionality visually tracks the geographic locations of the unit using Google Maps.
SPOT is being launched in Argentina, Chile and Paraguay this week.
