On Monday, December 1st, we met with the FCC to discuss the use of the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band and how the sophisticated LTE/Wi-Fi coexistence filters prevalent in many mobile devices today would, by subjecting Globalstar’s proposed TLPS to high levels of rejection, substantially impair its usefulness.
Today we published a report on Globalstar highlighting a new problem: TLPS frequencies would get suppressed by coexistence filters designed to separate 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi from neighboring LTE — a major problem for workability of TLPS. Read the full report here.
We launched a Twitter account to provide updates on Globalstar at twitter.com/FactsAboutGSAT
Mad Money’s Jim Cramer had Globalstar’s CEO Jay Monroe on to share his view on the company. We found the interview to be deeply underwhelming, as his other responses to our research. The video can be viewed here.

On Monday, November 10th, we submitted a third ex parte letter to the FCC addressing Globalstar’s response to our letters. To view the full comment, please click here.
On Thursday, October 30th, we held a conference call discussing Yahoo! Finance message board topics. A replay of the call can be accessed with the dial-in information below and will be available until December 1, 2014.
On Wednesday, October 22nd, we submitted a second ex parte letter to the FCC discussing results of our own testing and predictive surveys. The letter examines flaws to Globalstar’s tests, contrasts TLPS with real-world network at Canal Park, and shows how TLPS interferes with normal Wi-Fi. To view the full comment, please click here. The first…
On Friday, October 17, Kerrisdale released a report highlighting the many shortcomings of the materials that Globalstar has so far released about its proposed Terrestrial Low Power Service (TLPS). On Monday, October 20, we conducted a public conference call briefly summarizing that report and addressing inbound questions. Shortly thereafter, Globalstar responded, but once again skirted the key issues.
New data underscores TLPS’s shortcomings and raises questions about Globalstar’s credibility. Click here to read our follow-up report on Globalstar’s flawed testing and results of our own simulations and tests.
