Broadband Botswana Internet, Globalstar partnership bears fruit

SatNews Globalstar, Inc announced that its gateway in Botswana has gone live, enabling Globalstar to deliver affordable simplex coverage over the African continent.

This new gateway, in partnership with Broadband Botswana Internet (BBi), provides Globalstar’s full line of simplex services, including its SPOT portfolio of affordable personal tracking and life-saving solutions.

Globalstar simplex solutions can also enhance the effectiveness of life-saving emergency first responder services.
