Globalstar and Manx Telecom form alliance to trial Extended Mobile Network (EMN), an integrated mobile communications solution.

EMN’s goal is to switch between multiple cellular networks and Globalstar’s satellite network, ensuring near ubiquitous coverage.

EMN will be initially offered to FRAN (First Responder Auxiliary Network) enabling communications continuity across the UK for first responders.

Trials with selected users are targeted to start in Summer 2016.
