Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-2800/2900 Fixed Satellite Phone!

About the QGFSP

The QUALCOMM Globalstar Fixed Satellite Phone (QGFSP) is easy to use, versatile, and dependable. It combines the ready availability of a two-wire telephone interface with the superior performance of a state-of-the-art digital wireless technology known as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and the Globalstar system.

Your QGFSP consists of the following: a radio antenna unit (RAU), a junction box that minimizes damage from lightning strikes, a power supply, a telephone, and assorted cabling.

Note

In this book, we call the complete unit, including your telephone, the QUALCOMM Globalstar Fixed Satellite Phone or QGFSP. When we talk about the QGFSP, we’re talking about your entire Globalstar installation, not just your telephone.

These elements allow you to make and receive telephone calls using the Globalstar satellite system. The Globalstar system makes clear, high quality voice, data, and fax communications possible.

Note

Data and fax require network support. Please contact your service provider to see if these features are available in your area.

The QGFSP equipment required to make and receive telephone calls over the Globalstar system must be installed and maintained by your service provider. The inside wiring may have been installed before you purchased the QGFSP. If not, you or your service provider need to prepare your building for telephone service.
