SENS/Simplex Service Extends to Mexico

Ashburn, VA, July 10, 2006 /AEROASTRO, INC./ AeroAstro, a microsatellite technology and communications pioneer, today announced the successful installation of a new AeroAstro SENS Appliqué at the ground station in San Martin, Mexico independently operated by Globalstar de Mexico.

The SENS Appliqué, an add-on to existing Globalstar ground stations, receives and decodes remote sensing data from field transmitters via the Globalstar LEO satellite network. It digitizes RF signals and extracts SENS message packets despite interference or overlapping transmissions, and transmits these messages through the Internet.

The unit, one of several new SENS Appliqués purchased by Globalstar LLC, will allow for seamless SENS/Simplex coverage from Alaska and northern Canada southward to parts of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile and the Pacific coast maritime region of South America.

“AeroAstro is pleased to provide enhanced service coverage in this region.” said AeroAstro CEO, Dr. Rick Fleeter. “Combined with our new back office data portal and IVMS voice messaging service we now support a comprehensive service offering in Mexico.” AeroAstro offers SENS/Simplex Data Services in North America, Europe, the North Atlantic, North Africa, Middle East, Central America, South America, and Australia.

The AeroAstro/Globalstar Simplex Data technology provides a total solution that is uniquely affordable and reliable with ubiquitous (outdoor) coverage. AeroAstro and partner AXONN, LLC combine hardware and services to deliver prices, power savings, compact size and ease of use previously unimaginable from satellite communications.
