Customers of leading UK-based specialist reseller purchased over 10,800 Globalstar devices in 2024 alone, including SPOT and best-selling SmartOne C satellite IoT transmitter.
Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd., today announced that UK-based wireless and satellite technology reseller, Global Telesat Communications (GTC), a subsidiary of NextPlat Corp., has seen sales of Globalstar SPOT and satellite IoT devices dramatically increase, a 35% boost compared to the same period in 2023.
David Phipps, Managing Director of GTC and CEO of Global Operations of NextPlat Corp. reports:
“We’ve seen extraordinary growth in sales of Globalstar’s products this year, particularly for SPOT.”
One of Europe’s most successful Globalstar resellers, GTC has achieved another milestone of having sold over 10,800 Globalstar devices in 2024, driven by SPOT Gen4, SPOT X, SPOT Trace and SmartOne C satellite IoT transmitters.
Phipps says that SPOT’s ease of use and economical price are the key drivers in accelerated uptake. “SPOT is really easy to use and has a very economical price; for many people, it simply ticks all the boxes,” he says.
In May 2024, GTC celebrated reaching a total of 45,000 Globalstar device sales overall, shortly after Globalstar announced the 10,000th rescue worldwide, thanks to the reliable and ubiquitous satellite-enabled tracking and SOS capabilities in Globalstar’s product portfolio.
Phipps says new sales are coming from a mix of individual consumers and organisations choosing SPOT to safeguard remote-working and at-risk employees. Commercial customers include utilities suppliers, as well as civil and national defence organisations. GTC has seen accelerated demand from humanitarian aid NGOs, and other parties operating in regions affected by political instability or conflict.
GTC has also seen increased uptake of Globalstar’s commercial IoT devices, for applications in a range of industries. Phipps reports continuous demand for SmartOne C, GTC’s bestseller in this category, with one customer having recently procured a large number of units to monitor oil and gas pipelines.
“We are extremely proud of our partnership with GTC, and we congratulate the company for its ongoing success,” said Mark O’Connell, Globalstar EMEA & APAC General Manager.
