Customers of leading UK-based specialist
reseller purchased over 10,800 Globalstar devices in 2024 alone,
including SPOT and best-selling SmartOne C satellite IoT
transmitter
Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT), the
next-generation mobile satellite and communications service
provider, today announced that UK-based wireless and satellite
technology reseller, Global Telesat Communications (GTC), a
subsidiary of NextPlat Corp. (NASDAQ: NXPL), has seen sales of
Globalstar SPOT and satellite IoT devices dramatically increase, a
35% boost compared to the same period in 2023.
“We’ve seen extraordinary growth in sales of Globalstar’s
products this year, particularly for SPOT,” reports David Phipps,
Managing Director of GTC and CEO of Global Operations of NextPlat
Corp.
One of Europe’s most successful Globalstar resellers, GTC has
achieved another milestone of having sold over 10,800 Globalstar
devices in 2024, driven by SPOT Gen4, SPOT X, SPOT Trace and
SmartOne C satellite IoT transmitters.
Phipps says that SPOT’s ease of use and economical price are the
key drivers in accelerated uptake. “SPOT is really easy to use and
has a very economical price; for many people, it simply ticks all
the boxes,” he says.
In May 2024, GTC celebrated reaching a total of 45,000
Globalstar device sales overall, shortly after Globalstar announced
the 10,000th rescue worldwide, thanks to the reliable and
ubiquitous satellite-enabled tracking and SOS capabilities in
Globalstar’s product portfolio.
Phipps says new sales are coming from a mix of individual
consumers and organisations choosing SPOT to safeguard
remote-working and at-risk employees. Commercial customers include
utilities suppliers, as well as civil and national defence
organisations. GTC has seen accelerated demand from humanitarian
aid NGOs, and other parties operating in regions affected by
political instability or conflict.
GTC has also seen increased uptake of Globalstar’s commercial
IoT devices, for applications in a range of industries. Phipps
reports continuous demand for SmartOne C, GTC’s bestseller in this
category, with one customer having recently procured a large number
of units to monitor oil and gas pipelines.
“We are extremely proud of our partnership with GTC, and we
congratulate the company for its ongoing success,” said Mark
O’Connell, Globalstar EMEA & APAC General Manager.
