Network Description

Globalstar Satellite, operating under the China Mobile umbrella, serves as a unique telecommunications provider within China. Its presence in the Asia & Middle East region, and specifically mainland China, leverages the infrastructure of China Mobile while offering satellite-based communication solutions. Identified by the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 460, which designates China, and the Mobile Network Code (MNC) 04, Globalstar’s services typically cater to users needing connectivity in areas where traditional terrestrial mobile networks may be unavailable or unreliable. This niche often includes maritime, remote exploration, and emergency communication sectors. While China Mobile primarily focuses on GSM, TD-SCDMA, and more recently, 4G LTE and 5G technologies, Globalstar Satellite complements this by providing satellite communication capabilities.

Unlike the expansive terrestrial coverage of China Mobile and its competitors like China Unicom (MCC 460, MNC 01) and China Telecom (MCC 460, MNC 11), Globalstar’s strength lies in its satellite network. This allows users in remote areas of China, particularly the western provinces and along the extensive coastline, to maintain communication links. The cooperation with China Mobile also facilitates integrated solutions, potentially enabling seamless transitions between terrestrial and satellite networks for optimal connectivity. The specific services offered by Globalstar through China Mobile may include satellite phones, data services, and asset tracking, tailored to specific industries requiring reliable communication outside conventional network coverage areas.
