Globalstar Europe, operating in France with Mobile Country Code (MCC) 208 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 06, provides satellite-based communication services. Unlike traditional GSM networks such as Orange France or SFR, which rely on terrestrial cell towers, Globalstar leverages a constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to offer connectivity in areas where terrestrial coverage may be limited or non-existent, focusing on areas where there are network blackspots, and providing access to satellite networks. This makes it particularly useful for applications like asset tracking, remote worker communication, emergency services, and IoT deployments in rural or geographically challenging areas of France and Europe. While Globalstar might not compete directly with the established mobile operators in terms of everyday mobile phone usage (calls and data), it offers a specialized service filling a crucial gap in network connectivity. Their satellite network connectivity in France allows a level of redundancy and safety that other networks, with a reliance on terrestrial based infrastructure, may not be able to provide. Globalstar Europe's French operations highlight the importance of diverse communication solutions within the broader European telecom landscape, especially for critical infrastructure and ensuring safety and backup communications.
