SPOT Introduces New Asset Tracking and Recovery Product at
2009 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spot LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (Nasdaq:GSAT) and a leader in
personal satellite messaging and emergency communications, today announced its
further commitment to the maritime market by unveiling a new SPOT
satellite-based, security, recovery and messaging product, SPOT HUG (Hybrid
Universal Guardian). Spot LLC is showcasing its entire line of award-winning
satellite GPS tracking and messaging products at the 2009 Ft. Lauderdale Boat
Show at the SPOT booth # 3057-3058 located in the Broward County Convention
Center October 29 - November 2, 2009.

SPOT HUG, scheduled to be commercially available in North America spring 2010,
is the newest addition to the growing SPOT product family providing an
innovative and easy-to-install satellite-based asset monitoring and messaging
system for boats. SPOT HUG monitors the boat's location and sends "unauthorized
movement" alerts to the SPOT Asset Monitoring Center providing 100%
satellite-based theft protection. In addition, SPOT HUG provides peace-of-mind
and safety messaging features found with the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger.

Equipped with a self-installed Base Station and key fobs, SPOT HUG automatically
sets a "Home Base" position providing a security range for the boat. If the
asset moves beyond the range without the fob present, the Base Station
immediately alerts the Monitoring Center with its GPS position. The boat owner
also receives notification of the unauthorized movement via SMS and/or email
alert.

When in range of the Base Station, the popular satellite messaging functions of
SPOT can be initiated from the fob transmitting location-based messages to
personal contacts, track progress and summon help with SPOT Assist services or
in an emergency via SPOT's global emergency response center.

"Today's introduction of SPOT HUG offers the boating community a low-cost
innovative solution providing asset protection and personal satellite messaging
found in one product," said Peter Dalton, CEO of Globalstar Inc. and President
of Spot LLC.

"We are pleased to expand our product line and provide additional services
offering increased levels of safety and security for our customers, their
families and now their boats."

Pricing and Availability:

SPOT HUG's suggested hardware retail price is expected to be under $500 plus an
additional annual subscription price for service which will include unlimited
asset monitoring and personal satellite messaging. For more information on SPOT
