PSN Update - 6 March 2002 Globalstar Files Chapter 11 Globalstar has officially filed for Chapter 11 and will restructure. Globalstar will continue to provide un-interrupted service during their restructuring. We expect that Globalstar will emerge as a leaner company with more competitive pricing on their equipment and service plans in a few months. See the official announcement on our web site. http://www.skyhelp.net/acrobat/Globalstar-chap11.pdf PSN Globalstar Leasing Deal Afraid to buy into technology in rough times, then lease a Globalstar satellite telephone from PSN. You get the best possible deal, we lease the telephone to you for only $45/month (includes basic service with 1-year contract and buy-out option). If Globalstar fails, the lease ends and you send the unit back. If the service plan improves as Globalstar restructures, we will upgrade your contract to the better pricing. Either way, you win with PSN. This is a limited offer. Iridium Launches Five New Satellites Iridium launched 5 new satellites on 11 February 2002. These will join the seven existing in-orbit spares. This is a good sign that the company will be around for till at least 2010 and beyond. They now provide circuit switched voice and data service over the entire world. http://www.skyhelp.net/spare_sat_launch.htm Used Iridium 9500 Phones Gone If you were waiting to buy a used 9500 it is too late. My supply is dry and no one seems to have anymore. The only ones I am getting are on upgrades. Sign up on the waiting list, if you can wait. Inmarsat DPlus Deal Get a deal on our over-stocked Inmarsat D-plus units, DMR-200. PSN is offering them at $400 each plus shipping (normally $699). These units have built in GPS and can track almost anywhere in the world. Limited offer PSN Pre-Paid Iridium Service Iridium pre-paid service is good for infrequent calling on the Iridium system. It is only $12/month. Check out our comparison chart and decide. For camps or cruises, sell you friends pre-paid cards rather than hoping they will pay you back after the trip. http://www.skyhelp.net/iridium_calling_card.htm PSN 800-number Iridium Pager Service PSN is offering an 800 number paging service for Iridium pagers and phones. This will allow your friends and family to dial an 800 number and an operator will take up to a 120-character page to be immediately sent to your Iridium pager or phone. The cost for the service is $1 per page, and there is no monthly fee. External Antennas for Iridium While supplies last, we are offering the external fixed-mount Iridium antenna with up to 50 feet of cable to PSN Iridium customers for only $200. The cost for non-account holders is only $250. This antenna allows you to use your Iridium phone in the comfort of your office, your home, your boat, your cabin, etc. The kit has a low-loss (half- inch) cable for the main run and a 3-foot thin-cable that connects from the cable to your phone. On the other hand, you could buy an OEM Motorola Iridium fixed-mount antenna and 15-meter cable for about $440. We can also stretch your 5-foot Iridium car antenna to 12 foot for $50 (adding a thicker cable). Iridium Equipment Deals ** Iridium fixed antenna with up to 50ft of cable, $200 with order or $250 without order. ** Kyrocera Iridium 2-wire interface unit with phone - $1195. ** Eurocom Iridium Unit (new) provides 2-wire telephone interface for Iridium - $2695. ** 9570 Portable Docking Station (new) for the 9500 Iridium Phone - $995 ** Marine Kit (new) (9570 dock, 9500 phone, external antenna, 10m cable) - $2199. ** Motorola (new) fixed-mount Iridium antenna - $205. ** ICARUS Aviation Sat-talk unit without 9505 phone - $4495. |
