MISSISSAUGA, ON, Oct. 17, 2019 /CNW/ - Globalstar Canada Satellite Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT), a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services, today announced the new Sat-Fi2® Remote Antenna Station (RAS), expanding the capabilities of the Sat-Fi2® Satellite Hotspot by incorporating a highly efficient remote antenna enabling use in any vehicle, vessel or distant building. Sat-Fi2® RAS easily installs to a fixed power source for seamless connectivity via the Globalstar next generation satellite network and ground infrastructure. Now available in the US and Canada, Sat-Fi2 RAS provides continuous communications for anyone who works or plays outside of cellular coverage.
"Sat-Fi2 RAS offers a new level of functionality to the best-in-class Sat-Fi2 solution," said David Kagan, CEO, Globalstar, Inc.

Whether inside a vehicle or working in a building, Sat-Fi2 RAS covers the end-to-end communication needs for any field service worker or outdoor enthusiast ensuring seamless connectivity."
With Sat-Fi2 RAS a satellite Wi-Fi hotspot is created so that users can stay connected while they are on the move. Ideal for users in a vehicle, a fishing boat or pleasure craft, or those who work from a remote stationary location. The solution includes two remote antenna options – a magnetic mountable antenna and a pole mountable marine antenna that addresses the demand for satellite communications on the water.
Sat-Fi2 RAS uses the proven Sat-Fi2 suite of features, including the easy-to-use mobile app that works on multiple platforms including Gmail, iCloud, Exchange, Outlook, Hotmail and Yahoo! Up to eight users can connect any Wi-Fi-enabled iOS or Android device to Sat-Fi2 RAS for satellite-enabled email and SMS text message functionality, voice calls, access to the web, social media and S.O.S.
