The SPOT X and SPOT Gen4 serve hikers, adventurers, fleet managers, and outdoor workers. Globalstar satellite phones provide push-to-talk and voice communications for industries including oil and gas, mining, forestry, emergency response, and government.

The company's Commercial IoT division delivers satellite connectivity for asset tracking, SCADA monitoring, pipeline surveillance, and machine-to-machine applications. Globalstar technology enables connectivity for vessels, vehicles, and equipment operating beyond cellular coverage. Through partnerships with automotive manufacturers, Globalstar provides emergency services and connected car features. The company continues expanding its ecosystem through new ground infrastructure, service development, and potential spectrum monetization opportunities with terrestrial partners.
