SPOT LLC Continues to Pioneer Innovation in Satellite

About SPOT LLC

• A subsidiary od Globalstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: GSAT)
  

• Provides emergency notification technology that allows users to communicate from remote locations around the globe.
• Product family uses both the GPS satellite network to determine a customer's location and the Globalstar network to transmit message and GPS coordinates to others including an international rescue coordination centre.

SPOT satellite coverage works around the world:

• United States
• Canada
• Mexico
• Europe and Australia Northen and Central
• South America
• North-Eastern Asia

Today's smartphones provide mobile social connection. But when users go off-grid, their smartphone needs help. SPOT connect provides connectivity to global communication satellites for sending location-based messages from around town or areas outside of cellular phone coverage.

By simply downloading the SPOT Connect application, SPOT Connect wirelessly synchs via Bluetooth with smartphone operating system like Android. SPOT message features are then initiated using the SPOT Connect app on the smart device.

Additional Benefits:

1. Bluetooth wireless connection.
2. Send location-based messages via satellite to others delivered as SMS text or email.
3. To determine location and Globalstar satellite network to transmit that information to personal contacts or an international emergency response center.
4. Provide GPS functionality to non-GPS devices.
5. Store up to 10 predefined messages for quick reference and sending.

Peter Dalton said:

" For the tome ever, urban professionals, outdoor enthusiasts and world travelers can utilize cost-efficient, personal satellite communications directly from their smartphone."

" When paired with SPOT Connect your everyday smartphone overcome traditional limitations associated witk cellular coverage, keeping you better connected to your personal contacts and social groups like Facebook and Twitter when you want to be."

See you next time!

World's Smallest 64GB Solid State Disk!

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. SSD are distinguished from traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), which are electromechanical devices containing spinning disks and movable read/write heads.

As of 2010, most SSDs use NAND-based flash memory, which retains memory even without power. SSDs is using volatile random-access memory (RAM) also exist for situations which require even faster access, but do not necessarily need data persistance after power loss, or use external power or batteries to maintain the data after power is removed.

A Hybrid Drive= HDD+SDD. In May 2010, Seagate launched the Momentus XT solid state hybrid drive. The SSD portion of new drive is also now a larger 4 GB, compared to 256 MB in th epast.


Compare to traditional HDDs, SSDs are typically less susceptible to physical shock, quiter, and have lower access time and latency. SSDs use the same interface as hard disk drives, thus easily replacing them in kosr applications.

NAND Flash uses floating-gate transistors, but they are connected in a way that resembles a NAND gate. These group are then connected via some additional transistors to a NOR-style bit line array. NAND flash uses tunnel injection for writing and tunnel release for erasing. NAND flash, memory forms the core of the removable USB storage devices known as USB flash drives, as well as most memory card formats and solid-state drives available today.


See you soon!
