Ground Station Enhancement in Korea Continues Expansion of Globalstar Simplex
Data Coverage

Globalstar, a world leader in providing mobile satellite voice and data
services to business, announced today that its independent gateway operator in
Korea, DACOM Corporation, plans to offer simplex, or one-way, data services to
Globalstar customers throughout Korea, much of Southeast Asia, parts of China,
as well as the Western Pacific and Sea of Japan maritime regions.

The capability to offer simplex data service and solutions is the result
of additional hardware being added at the ground station or satellite gateway
operated by Dacom. The satellite gateway is used to provide Globalstar
customers with access to ground based telephone and data networks via the
Globalstar satellite constellation. Globalstar recently purchased a number of
new gateway hardware appliques in order to expand its simplex data coverage to
various operators around the world.

The Globalstar simplex data service has been available in the U.S and
Canada since 2003, and throughout Europe, the Middle East and across the north
Atlantic region since early 2005. It is one of the fastest growing Globalstar
segments with the number of Globalstar simplex data subscribers increasing in
2005 by approximately 300% to over 20,000 users.

The Globalstar simplex data offering is a low cost, one-way satellite data
service that allows customers to use Globalstar simplex modems and integrated
back office management solutions to track mobile assets — such as vehicles,
tractor trailers, cargo containers and marine vessels, using GPS or other
location-based software. Because of this, it is an ideal solution for marine
and fishing vessel monitoring applications. The Globalstar simplex data
service can also be used for a wide variety of industrial and security
applications to monitor and send information from fixed assets, such as
environmental measuring instruments and utility meters, or report the state of
various mobile devices and their locations.

Using the Globalstar Satellite network and an approved integrated simplex
modem solution, companies will be able to economically monitor their assets
from virtually anywhere within the Globalstar simplex coverage area. The data
is sent back to a customer’s control and monitoring facility via the
Globalstar constellation of low-earth-orbiting satellites. This information
can be received at any time from remote installations far beyond the reach of
ground-based communications systems.

"This investment confirms the commitment of our independent gateway
operators such as Dacom, to providing Globalstar customers, who require the
ability to remotely monitor their various assets, with a low cost simplex data
solution," said Jay Monroe, CEO and Chairman of Globalstar LLC. "In addition,
today’s announcement that Globalstar and Dacom will offer this service
throughout parts of China and much of the Asia Pacific region is extremely
important, as it is one of the fastest growing economic areas in the world."

Commencing in the first quarter of 2006, Dacom plans to begin customer
field trials of its simplex data offering, through its gateway in Korea. For

Today’s announcement combined with the recent releases announcing the
deployment of simplex data service throughout parts of South and Central
America and Australia, demonstrates the continued Globalstar commitment to
introduce new data solutions, designed to meet the dynamic requirements of the
satellite communications marketplace.
