8 Globalstar Certification Process for Customer Products
Before a customer's end product can be used on the Globalstar network, it must receive a Globalstar Product
Certification. The certification process ensures that the customer's product meets Globalstar's internal system
standards and has received the applicable regulatory approvals for the countries it will be operating in.
Typical certification process flow:
•
Customer designs their product using the ST100 module.
o NOTE: Over the Air (OTA) testing strongly recommended during design phase to catch performance bugs
before submission for certification.
•
Customer notifies their Globalstar Regional Sales Manager (RSM) that they want to start the Globalstar
certification process.
•
Customer completes on-line Globalstar Customer Equipment Application Form (Link provided by RSM)
•
Globalstar reviews product
•
Globalstar performs Over the Air (OTA) testing.
o Potential issues are highlighted / corrective actions made.
•
Customer obtains all applicable regulatory approvals for end-product.
o NOTE: Globalstar is not permitted to allow a customer's end-product to operate on the Globalstar
network unless all applicable end-product regulatory approvals for the countries the product will work
in have been submitted for review.
•
Application and OTA test data are reviewed by Globalstar engineering. All remaining areas of concern are
resolved.
•
