Globalstar, a telecommunications infrastructure provider, has broken ground on a teleport expansion in Greece, doubling its facilities to support its third-generation C-3 constellation. The expansion is part of a global buildout of 90 additional tracking antennas to support Globalstar's C-3 satellite system, marking a significant investment in the network's functionality and capacity.
Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT), a leading telecommunications infrastructure provider, has initiated construction on an expansion of its teleport facilities in Nemea, Greece, as part of a broader global buildout to support its third-generation C-3 satellite system. This significant investment aims to enhance the network's functionality and capacity, supporting a next-generation of services for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
The expansion at OTE S.A.'s commercial teleport in Nemea is a continuation of a partnership established in 2020, which initially led to the installation of three six-meter tracking antennas and associated infrastructure. Globalstar has now begun construction on three additional tracking antennas and related infrastructure, doubling the size of its existing facilities in Greece [1].
This global expansion includes the installation of up to 90 new tracking antennas across approximately 35 gateways worldwide, further bolstering the capabilities of the C-3 System, Globalstar's most advanced mobile satellite network. The project underscores Greece's strategic role in global satellite connectivity, as highlighted by Lykourgos Antonopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer Business Segment at OTE Group [1].
The expansion is a testament to Globalstar's commitment to investing in its infrastructure to meet the growing demand for reliable, secure, and affordable satellite and terrestrial connectivity services. The company's low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation ensures secure data transmission, while its terrestrial spectrum, Band 53, and 5G variant, n53, offer versatile, fully licensed channels for private networks [1].
Globalstar's partnership with OTE, a member of the Telekom Group, is pivotal in supporting advanced satellite systems like the C-3 constellation. OTE's state-of-the-art facilities, robust fiber connectivity, and highly skilled technical personnel make Greece an ideal location for such infrastructure expansions [1].
