Globalstar unveiled Globalstar 9600, a satellite data hot spot that lets users connect smartphones and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices when off the grid. Customers can use an app to pair their existing satellite phones and smartphones to send and receive email over Globalstar’s satellite network, the company said Thursday in a news release (http://bit.ly/1lCHBXY). The hot spot is ideal for remote workforces, and marine customers “will also benefit from the ease of use and the ability to affordably use data from beyond cellular,” it said. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $149.99, it said.
