MILPITAS, Calif., Feb. 18, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spot LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (Nasdaq:GSAT) and a leader
in personal satellite messaging communications today announced it has
begun shipping the new SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(TM) to customers
and retail partners. SPOT, the maker of the world's first satellite GPS
Messenger, introduced the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(TM) (SPOT 2) in
October 2009. The new SPOT product features several upgrades and
modifications and has passed rigorous environmental and operating
quality assurance testing.

"Providing high quality, reliable satellite messaging products is our
number one commitment to consumers and retail partners," said Peter
Dalton, CEO of Globalstar Inc., and SPOT LLC. "We have worked
diligently to help ensure our customers continue to receive the finest
safety communications products available on the market."

The new handheld SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(TM) is the next
generation in the SPOT product line following the award-winning SPOT
Satellite Personal Tracker(TM). Feature rich enhancements in the new
SPOT Messenger offer a more robust and intuitive user experience in a
smaller, more compact size. SPOT customers will enjoy advanced GPS
performance for faster location acquisition, a new Custom Message mode
and a dedicated button for GPS Tracking. Additionally, the new SPOT
comes equipped with GPS acquisition and message sending LED
confirmation.

The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger(TM) provides outdoor enthusiasts and
individual workers the ability to stay in touch with others from remote
areas around the world outside of cellular coverage. SPOT sends
GPS-based pre-defined messages via satellite to select contact groups
including family, friends and co-workers and allows others to track
their location in real-time on Google Maps(TM). In an emergency, SPOT
will transmit an SOS/911 message alert to an International Emergency
Response Center with the SPOT owner's GPS location updated every 5
minutes. Since market introduction, the SPOT product line has initiated
more than 550 rescues in 51 countries and at sea.
