Acquiring the adjacent land was critical to allow the infrastructure needed to support the C-3 satellite system. This is indicative of Globalstar\u2019s ongoing contributions to the local economy and its strong relationship with the Bihoro Town Office and community since 2021. We look forward to the continued collaboration as we advance industrial connectivity and public safety across Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re just getting started,\u201d Ponder stated. \u201cThe installation and operation of the infrastructure in Japan is the first step in the Asia-Pacific portion of our global expansion designed to support Globalstar\u2019s third-generation mobile satellite system serving hundreds of millions of people around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Globalstar, a next-generation telecommunications infrastructure and technology provider, announces construction commencement of additional gateway infrastructure at its existing ground station in Bihoro, Japan.
