GSP 2900 - Data Products
Data services from Globalstar allow you to go beyond the limits of cellular data services. You can attach your satellite phone to a laptop, computer, or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) to connect to the Internet and email systems. Users do not have to be limited to using the keys on a phone keypad, and can use all the features and displays of a laptop, computer or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).
Globalstar Data Services provide 9.6 Kbp native speeds or 56Kbp with Express Data using the reliability of satellite communications via two methods:
Direct Internet Access (#777) enables you to connect to the Internet and web-based email systems*. Globalstar acts as the Internet Service Provider (ISP) allowing you to browse web sites and send and receive e-mails.
Direct Dial-up Access allows you to connect to private networks, which may not be accessible via the Internet, by simply dialing the 11-digit number you want to connect to. Direct Dial-up also allows access to your existing ISP over their standard dial up access for web browsing or access to your mail on their mail server.
Data services are not available with the FAU-200. Currently Direct Internet Access is only available in Canada, United States, Caribbean, Argentina and Brazil.
