Globalstar sets up European headquarters in Dublin

Globalstar, the handheld satellite telephone service, has established a new European headquarters in Dublin.

The new headquarters provides dedicated sales and service support to Globalstar dealers and customers across 12 European countries and parts of North Africa.

The Globalstar European headquarters in Dublin is the company's first wholly-owned service operation outside North America, and it is now focusing on building up its position in the European market.

In Europe the company’s phones are used in particular by the shipping, oil and gas, and resource exploration industries, as well as by defence and security organisations and government agencies.

These customers all require voice and data communications from remote locations or out at sea where other wireless services cannot reach.
