GLOBALSTAR SATELLITE NETWORK
The Globalstar Satellite Network consists of Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites that are
constantly orbiting the earth and each satellite completes its orbit in less than two hours.
Because of this, the Integrity 150 will be in contact with at least one of the satellites during
each scheduled transmission.
In LEO communication networks, the satellites are constantly changing their positions in
the sky relative to the transmitter on earth. This minimizes the shading effects seen in
geostationary satellite systems where the mobile device must be pointed toward a specific
direction in the sky. Geostationary satellites also orbit at a much higher altitude and move
along the equator.
Messages are transmitted from the Integrity 150 via the Globalstar Satellite Network using
an uplink-only connection (one-way data transmission) and received by a Globalstar Ground Station. The messages are then sent via an HTTP,
HTTPS, or FTP server to the internet and received by the customer's back-office application and converted into actionable data.
