Elsacom provides a variety of Globalstar voice and data satellite services.

Globalstar can be described as a combination of satellite and digital cellular CDMA technology used in conjunction with the existing telephone network. The service is delivered through multi-mode phones (GSM/Globalstar) and reaches the most remote areas of the world at low cost.

Advantages of using a satellite system include:

-
High quality voice telephony and excellent call retention
-
Economical long distance transmission
-
Broad coverage including areas underserved or not served yet by land telephone infrastructures

To have access the Globalstar service, the user needs an Elsacom SIM card or, alternatively, one of the Elsacom GSM Operator Partners' Sim card.

The available services range from basic telephony to some of the most advanced value added services.

Packet Data: The Globalstar Packet Data Service is offered directly by Elsacom using Globastar satellites and its Gateways. Direct Internet connectivity and no need to use any ISP are main added value of this service. Moreover, connections are typically established within 2-3 seconds, compared to the approximately 30-60 seconds of a normal modem.
