PRESS RELEASE

Title: Two EU Peacekeeping Forces Select Globalstar-enabled SafeFleet Telematics to Track
Vehicles and Protect Staff
Highlights:
 Two EU peacekeeping organisations have deployed SafeFleet Telematics, based
on Globalstar’s SmartOne device, for fleet management and staff protection
 SafeFleet Telematics system installed in peacekeeping vehicles in Georgia and Kosovo
 SafeFleet Telematics automatically switches between GSM and Globalstar’s simplex satellite network to
ensure vehicles and passengers are always in contact and able to summon emergency help
Dublin, Ireland, February 22, 2017 – Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (NYSE MKT: GSAT) and the leader in
satellite messaging and emergency notification technologies, today announced that two
EU peacekeeping organisations have deployed the SafeFleet Telematics fleet
management solution, incorporating Globalstar’s SmartOne device.
The European Union Monitoring Mission in Georgia (EUMM) and EU Rule of Law
Mission (EULEX) both chose SafeFleet Telematics to track and manage fleets, monitor
driver behaviour, and safeguard personnel and civilian passengers in Georgia and
Kosovo respectively.
Both organisations have responsibility for maintaining law and order, as well as carrying
out judiciary, policing duties and border patrol in their regions.
They both sought a fleet tracking and monitoring platform to replace incumbent
technology that was deemed inadequate. There was a rigorous tender process for each
of the two deployments, all hotly contested by regional competitors and leading
European providers proposing technologies including radio, GSM and SIM-based
solutions. Only SafeFleet Telematics was able to deliver the required high level of
functionality, reach and reliability, and at the right price.

2. The phased deployment at the two organisations is now complete with SafeFleet
Telematics installed in vehicles used for logistics and transport, including armoured
vehicles and all-terrain pathfinder vehicles. The more recent deployment, for EULEX,
incorporated over 530 Globalstar SmartOne B Line Power devices.
“In many areas where these peacekeeping organisations operate, the GSM network is
not stable or far-reaching enough,” said Oliver Albu, International Business Manager,
SafeFleet Telematics. “The most critical requirement was ubiquitous and reliable
connection even where adequate GSM could not be guaranteed. Globalstar satisfied
this demand.”
Globalstar VAR, ETA Automatizari Industriale SRL, based in Romania, developed the
SafeFleet Telematics platform, a bespoke hardware and software-based solution that
automatically switches between GSM and Globalstar’s simplex satellite network. This
dual technology approach delivers flexibility and maximises cost effectiveness.
SafeFleet Telematics also includes an RFID-based identification system to ensure each
driver is authorised and in possession of the required licence. Its one-touch panic
button enables the driver to alert security teams and to summon support in an
emergency. It also allows customers to monitor fuel consumption and other engine
metrics to optimise vehicle performance and manage maintenance scheduling.
SmartOne is a plug and play simplex device which allows organisations to monitor and
manage fixed and portable assets including shipping containers, transport trailers,
construction machinery and vehicle fleets. SmartOne enables customers to track assets
and alerts them to any unexpected motion, such as attempts of theft.
Features of SmartOne include high reliability, long battery life and the ability to
seamlessly switch between battery and line-power as required. SmartOne uses motion
sensors, comparative GPS positions and sensors to gather and transmit asset status
information over Globalstar’s satellite network, such as movement and location reports,
geo-fencing alerts, stop/start messaging and theft recovery alerts via email or text
message. It also transmits battery status, input alarm status and diagnostic information.
“ETA Automatizari Industriale is an innovative Globalstar partner that has had great
success with its fleet management and tracking platform. Its technology is now
improving security for organisations that are vital to EU regional development.

3. SafeFleet Telematics is enabling these personnel to carry out their important operations
with better efficiency, communications reliability and security,” said Corry Brennan,
Simplex Regional Sales Manager EMEA at Globalstar.
