Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT), a pioneer in satellite messaging and emergency response technology, proudly announces a significant milestone: 10,000 successful rescues. This achievement underscores Globalstar’s unwavering dedication to safety and readiness, epitomized by its acclaimed product lineup, led by the SPOT satellite messengers.
The 10,000th rescue milestone encapsulates numerous incidents, many of which involved life-threatening situations, where timely emergency assistance was deployed precisely where needed, all thanks to the satellite-triggered alerts from SPOT devices. These rescues span the globe, encompassing six continents and over 100 countries.
Jake Rembert, Vice President of Global Sales, expresses, “At SPOT, our mission is to ensure everyone can pursue outdoor adventures safely, knowing that help is readily available at the push of a button. We take immense pride in facilitating 10,000 rescues.”
The one-touch SOS feature of SPOT instantly transmits an alert, along with the user’s GPS coordinates, to Globalstar’s partner, FocusPoint. Subsequently, local first responders are mobilized to provide swift assistance. This direct access to emergency resources underscores the ongoing demand for connectivity, particularly among adventurers venturing into remote areas beyond the reach of cellular networks.
A recent SPOT survey reveals that two-thirds of individuals are keen on adventure travel to lesser-known and secluded destinations, often considering solo trips. However, approximately half of the respondents admit to lacking confidence in their basic survival skills if stranded in the wilderness without technology. This highlights the indispensable role of satellite messengers as personal safety devices.
In celebration of the 10,000th rescue milestone, SPOT is launching the “Off-the-Grid Guru” initiative, inviting experienced travelers to share their solo travel tips for a chance to win $10,000 and support their next expedition to the world’s hidden treasures.
