Globalstar plans to begin beta testing full Spot two-way global communications in the coming months. The satellite operator currently has a contract with MDA to build 17 extra spacecraft to be launched in 2025 to ensure that its constellation can meet the increased global demand for connectivity services. Its partner Apple contributed 95 percent of the cost needed to manufacture the satellites and, in turn, will get access to 85 percent of the fleet’s capacity. Qualcomm will also integrate Globalstar’s Band 53 spectrum into its chipsets, Advanced Television reported.
