Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Globalstar GSP-2900
Fixed User Terminal!
About the Globalstar Fixed User Terminal
The Globalstar Fixed User Terminal (GFUT) is easy to use,
versatile, and dependable. It combines the ready availability of
a two-wire telephone with the superior performance of a state-
of-the-art digital wireless technology known as Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA), and the Globalstar system.
The elements comprising your GFUT consist 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 Globalstar Fixed User Terminal or
GFUT. When we talk about the GFUT, 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 are available only where supported by
the network.
The GFUT equipment required to make and receive telephone
calls over the Globalstar system must be installed and
maintained by your service provider with the exception of the
telephone and inside wiring, unless the inside wiring was
installed by your service provider.
