PRESS RELEASE

Date: 15th June 2017

Title: Spains Coastal Authority uses SPOT Trace for search and rescue training

Salvamento Maritimo also uses SPOT to analyse ocean currents to help in oil spill disaster recovery

Dublin, Ireland (June 15, 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, announced today that Spains coastal authority, Salvamento Maritimo, has chosen SPOT
Trace as an essential tool to help train its search and rescue teams as well as oil spill disaster
recovery crews.

Salvamento Maritimo attaches small SPOT Trace units to human-like dummies that are placed in the
ocean to simulate emergency search and rescue situations. By capturing and analysing the tracking data
from SPOT Trace as the dummy moves in the water, Salvamento Martimo can determine how far a
person in water might drift due to ocean waves, currents and winds using the Search & Rescue Model
and Response System (SARMAP) application. By accurately predicting the movement of victims in the
ocean, Salvamento Maritimo can refine and enhance its rescue procedures and life-saving operations.

SPOT Trace is also used during the training of Spains oil spill disaster recovery crews. SPOT Trace
devices are attached to buoys and the tracking data gives researchers and crews in training a better
understanding of how an oil spill spreads.

The suggestion to use a satellite tracking device came from academic and research institutions, including
Puertos del Estado, which is the Spanish agency responsible for maintenance of physical oceanographic
parameters in Spanish waters and is one of several Salvamento Martimo academic partners.
Salvamento Martimo acquired several SPOT Trace units to assess how effective they would be in
providing accurate tracking data to understand how different objects drift in the ocean. The devices were
initially tested in waters off Spains northern Asturias region.

The initial tests were successful. Further tests and training exercises were soon carried out in other parts
of the country and now SPOT is helping in training operations throughout Spains coastal safety
organisations.

The data which SPOT transmits via satellite is pivotal to assessing the validity of theoretical ocean
current modelling programmes. When assumptions and predictions of wave patterns and drift are ratified
by SPOT data, rescuers can be more confident that their operations and processes are informed and that
personnel are well trained and prepared to respond in an emergency.

The ability to understand how wind and currents behave plays an important role in search and rescue
training and can help us improve the effectiveness of our recovery processes, said Christian de Lera
Fernndez, Head of e-learning and research, development and integration projects at Salvamento
Martimos training centre.
Also, thanks to the oil spill training exercises we have undertaken with SPOT, we have a better
understanding of how quickly oil can spread and we can more accurately assess how and where to
deploy our disaster recovery resources, he added.

Salvamento Martimo is not the only organisation that has recognised the benefits of using SPOT for
oceanographic research. In April 2017, Globalstar announced that University of Miami Rosenstiel School
of Marine and Atmospheric Science (UM) is deploying 550 SPOT Trace satellite trackers in its ongoing oil
spill research. Studies undertaken with the Consortium for Advanced Research on Transport of
Hydrocarbon in the Environment (CARTHE) forecast the spread of oil dispersed into the
environment in order to help inform and guide response teams. This research follows UMs earlier project
launched in 2012 which monitored oil behaviour in the BP Gulf of Mexico spill.

Gary King, SPOT Regional Sales Manager, EMEA commented: With its ubiquitous satellite coverage
and reliability, SPOT is playing an important role in helping international disaster recovery organisations
and research institutions to better understand ocean behaviour. Globalstar technology is enabling
researchers and rescuers to collect valuable oil spill data in regions where alternative networks cant
reach and is contributing to life-saving training operations.
