NEW YORK-Globalstar Telecommunications Ltd. expanded into Scandinavia with the initiation of service in Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
The company in the future plans to add service in Norway and Lithuania.
The Scandinavian service will be provided by Globalstar Northern Europe, a joint venture between Elsacom S.p.A. of Italy and Oy Radiolinja Ab of Finland.
“The addition of these northern European countries to our business brings excellent opportunities for Globalstar in vertical industries such as forestry, maritime businesses, transportation and more,” commented Tony Navarra, president of Globalstar. “Wireless satellite telephone service is now available across the region’s remote land areas currently without cellular coverage, as well as throughout Scandinavian waterways and open seas.”
