Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) (collectively
“Globalstar” or the “Company”), the next-generation mobile
satellite and communications service provider, today announced that
value added reseller Spotter has seen sales of its satellite
IoT-enabled horse tracking collar more than double in the last 24
months.
Mongolia-based Spotter has reached a milestone of over 30,000
Horse Tracker collars deployed, enabling the reliable monitoring of
free-roaming horses across Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Describing sales uptick of nearly 160% since October 2022, Spotter
Co-Founder Tsogbadrakh Surenjargal said, “The growth has been
phenomenal.”
Each Spotter collar is fitted with Globalstar’s SmartOne C
satellite IoT transmitter, so the solution helps herd owners keep
tabs on their valued equines wherever they travel in this sparsely
populated region, even when well beyond the reach of cellular
signals. With SmartOne C’s small size, versatility, and low price,
Spotter is seeing rapid uptake of its lightweight, rugged, and
economical tracking collars.
There’s a growing understanding among the horse owning community
of the value and reliability of the satellite IoT technology
solution, according to Surenjargal. “People are becoming aware that
terrestrial telecoms infrastructure like mobile networks are simply
unable to provide the ubiquitous and always-on tracking capability
of satellite.”
Spotter’s customers are further benefiting from recent expansion
of Globalstar’s Eurasian ground station gateway network, now
providing even greater reach and network resilience while enjoying
the low maintenance, long battery life of the SmartOne C.
“For people across Central Asia, horses are their livelihood as
well as the living embodiment of their history and culture; we’re
incredibly proud that Globalstar satellite IoT technology is
helping owners track and safeguard their precious animals in one of
the world's most desolate landscapes, and in the most extreme
climatic conditions. Many congratulations, again, to our partners
at Spotter,” commented Mark O’Connell, Globalstar General Manager
for EMEA & APAC.
