08:03 AM EDT, 09/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Globalstar ( GSAT ) said Monday it is planning to bring into use its new HIBLEO-XL-1 satellite system.

The company, which has been operating its current mobile satellite system over big low-earth-orbit frequency bands, said last year that it was investing $1.5 billion in a new mobile satellite system that will include 48 additional satellites and around 90 new ground station antennas that it expects to improve the user experience.

It said it now expects to further expand its capabilities with additional satellites, orbital shells, and frequency bands.
