Bit of History Below was written Three years ago and Globalstar  is still around and growing strong!!!      The first time I laid eyes on the new phone was at the SSCA Marine cruisers GAM in Melbourne, Florida. Size wise it was about what I expected...A little big for a cell phone but this was so much more! The Globalstar rep and I walked out to a card table with laptop and the Globalstar 1600 Satphone sitting on it's side...antenna pointing up to the heavens.     Go ahead...Give it a try! Well ok I will! The first thing I did was to bring up some really big web pages and waited for them to appear. I figured this would take a while and I better go grab a good tech manual  and wait. I was pleasantly surprised by the fairly quick downloads coming across the screen and continued trying to find a fault with this new toy of theirs....I couldn't!      I was told I could expect good results with e-mail as well and could use my own e-mail account already established with an ISP so no need to change that. Just tell the E-mail client (your e-mail program) where to get a connection, Globalstar, and go. Sure enough it worked great! I could just picture myself out to sea with no land in site catching up on the latest happenings back on shore....Great product!     Well, that was three years ago and because I believe in this product and feel strongly that it could be of great use to our customers, I became a dealer! As there's nothing like hands on experience to prove a products worth, I love giving demo's to cruisers that have not experienced this technology before. They are completely surprised by the voice quality and convenience of this phone...As was I! Just remember that Globalstar is on a "Build-out" kick so check the coverage map (Below) to make sure a country of interest has coverage.      Not able to just leave a good thing alone... I wondered how I could improve on this concept if that was possible. The first improvement came in the form of a major adaptation of the Globalstar "Mobile Car Kit". This was overhauled and modified for harsh marine environments and ease of installations aboard vessels of all sizes.       Globalstar has now added a weather proof "Radome" antenna cover where the external satellite antenna simply drops in and secure the cover! Also a transportable hardened version (Lunchbox) for more land type use in mining etc. and now a (Kit) very convenient Pelican case that holds: phone, AC/DC power cables, Data cable and documentation making water proof storage easy.       The most significant advance is our services known as FastSuite, that compress web and e-mail content giving customers 56K dial-up Internet performance using a Globalstar satphone! If you do any amount of e-mailing, web surfing wirelessly or just want to cut you Globalstar minutes bill in half, you need FastSuite!       It's like having a 56K dial-up phone modem hook up instead of 9,600 baud wireless connection! MarineNet Wireless is offering FastSuite in 6, 9 or 12 month subscriptions to a ISP service (like an AOL or Hotmail) but designed for wireless connections ONLY and MUCH faster then if you tried to use a land based ISP's while wireless. Best part of FastSuite is it works on Cellular/GSM and landline with your existing land ISP accounts (Perfect for some really bad island telephone circuits)      MarineNet Wireless maintains a "Wireless Friendly" Website built just for wireless internet customers... It started as a very simple website... void of fu fu graphics that clog up web connections or, slow down speeds to a crawl. Now this wireless friendly site offers NWS weather products to quickly get charts, text forecasts, US coastal radar, global news and much more. Free to MarineNet customers as part of your FastSuite service.      Currently that is just what we do at MarineNet Wireless and it looks like FastSuite is showing a 70% improvement over non-processed/compressed internet E-mail/Web service and works fine with Internet Explorer, Netscape, Outlook Express, Outlook, Eudora and many more! FastSuite software is easy to install and operate and the best part is that it's part of the MarineNet Wireless package...  John Heron, President     SERVICE SIGNUP CLICK HERE
