The Globalstar antenna, when held in a vertical position, communicates with the Globalstar satellites at elevations more than 10° above the horizon. The Globalstar antenna rotates and stows in the handset for convenience when not in use.
The QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 Portable Tri-Mode Satellite Phone developed and manufactured by QUALCOMM offers an ergonomic design that makes it comfortable for hand-held operation.
