Globalstar expanded its ground infrastructure in Brazil by adding eight new C‑3 tracking antennas at four sites—Manaus, Petrolina, Presidente Prudente, and a São Paulo site operated by Ascenty Data Centers e Telecomunicações S.A. Each site now has two additional antennas, increasing capacity and redundancy for the company’s third‑generation Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) network.
The new antennas support the next‑generation C‑3 satellite system, which delivers higher throughput and lower latency for Internet‑of‑Things (IoT) and device‑to‑device (D2D) applications. The expansion is part of a broader global rollout that will add up to 90 new tracking antennas across 14 locations in eight countries, strengthening Globalstar’s coverage in South America and beyond.
Globalstar’s partnership with Ascenty provides access to a robust fiber‑optic network and sustainability focus, while Apple’s investment in the C‑3 constellation and reserved capacity for D2D services underscores the strategic importance of the network for emerging satellite‑connected devices. The company expects the expanded infrastructure to support higher throughput and lower latency, positioning it for future revenue growth from its growing IoT and D2D customer base.
Globalstar will report its Q3 2025 earnings on November 6, 2025. The company’s expansion plans and the launch of the C‑3 system are expected to enhance service quality for customers and strengthen its competitive position against other satellite operators such as Iridium, EchoStar, and Gilat Satellite Networks.
