Globalstar To Bring Timely Data To SoDAR

Globalstar, Inc. [NASDAQ:GSAT] revealed that Atmospheric Systems Corporation (ASC) has signed an agreement to provide its customers with timely data within the United States, Canada, and at other international locations, using the Globalstar satellite network. According to the agreement, ASC will integrate the Globalstar GSP-1620 satellite data modem as part of ASC’s innovative Doppler SoDAR (Sonic Detection And Ranging) product line. ASC’s SoDAR products are designed to monitor and collect data within the atmospheric boundary layer. The SoDAR system operates by emitting an audible acoustic pulse at 4500 Hz and recording the corresponding atmospheric echo in three independent directions to determine the three dimensional wind speed, wind direction, and turbulence profiles at as many as 50 user selected altitudes. Using the Globalstar satellite network these readings are then communicated directly to the customer using standard e-mail messages. These messages can be sent in either hourly or daily intervals—Milpitas, California
