                          Based Customers

MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globalstar, Inc.
(Nasdaq:GSAT), a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data
services to businesses, government, and consumers, announced today that
it has signed a joint venture agreement with Arion Communication Co.,
Ltd., a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data products
and services to maritime customers in Korea. The new joint venture
company known as Globalstar Asia Pacific will operate the Globalstar
gateway ground station in Korea and provide Simplex and duplex mobile
satellite voice and data services including SPOT Satellite GPS
Messenger(TM) products and services to customers in Korea and the
surrounding maritime region.

"All of us at Globalstar are excited about our new relationship with
Arion Communication Co., Ltd. and we anticipate this is just the
beginning of a long and profitable relationship that solidifies and
builds our presence in Eastern Asia," said Peter Dalton, Chief
Executive Officer, Globalstar, Inc. "This joint venture combines
Arion's expertise in delivering maritime messaging and vessel
monitoring solutions with Globalstar's ability to provide high quality
and affordable mobile satellite services to areas beyond the reach of
terrestrial wireless communications. Together we look forward to
further expanding the market for both our Simplex and duplex mobile
satellite services and SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger consumer products
throughout Korea and the surrounding area."

"We are very delighted to partner with Globalstar in establishing the
joint venture company, Globalstar Asia Pacific," explained Tony Park,
CEO of Arion Communication Co. Ltd., and Globalstar Asia Pacific. "We
are confident that with the launch of the second-generation satellites
beginning this summer, Globalstar will bring a huge paradigm shift in
the market, having previously attained the single largest mobile
satellite services market share position in the region. We also expect
the new SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger and next-generation high speed
duplex data communications services, which have not been provided in
Korea before, will play a key role in expanding Globalstar's market
share exponentially."

The two companies formed Globalstar Asia Pacific to acquire the
existing gateway in Seoul from LG Telecom, which has been Globalstar's
service provider in the region since 2001. The acquisition and license
transfer are subject to approval by the Korea Communications Commission
(KCC) which is expected in the next few weeks. According to the
agreement Arion Communication will also provide Globalstar mobile
satellite voice and data products and services in Korea. Globalstar,
Inc. plans to provide the necessary engineering and technical training
and personnel support required for Globalstar Asia Pacific to operate
the Korean Globalstar gateway.
