"Globalstar provides the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation that iPhones and Apple Watches connect to when they're outside of cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, and Apple uses up most of Globalstar's network capacity."
"Amazon wants to use Globalstar's satellites to add direct-to-device services to future generations of its LEO network, expanding the Amazon Leo constellation."
"Amazon has also signed an agreement with Apple which will see Amazon Leo continue the service that Globalstar has provided, ensuring no connectivity issues for iPhone and Apple Watch owners."
Amazon has announced its acquisition of Globalstar, which provides satellite connectivity for Apple devices. Globalstar's Low Earth Orbit satellites will be integrated into Amazon's LEO network, allowing mobile operators to extend services beyond terrestrial coverage. Amazon will charge carriers for this service. An agreement with Apple ensures that existing connectivity for iPhone and Apple Watch users will remain uninterrupted, potentially improving service with access to both Globalstar and Amazon's satellite constellations.
