11.4 GLOBALSTAR PRODUCT CERTIFICATION
Before a customer’s end product can be used on the Globalstar network, it must receive a Globalstar Product Certification. The
certification process ensures that the customer’s product meets Globalstar’s internal system standards and has received the
applicable regulatory approvals for the countries it will be operating in.
Typical certification process flow:
• Customer designs their product using the ST150M.
NOTE:
Over the Air (OTA) testing strongly recommended during design phase to catch performance bugs before
submission for certification.
• Customer notifies their Globalstar Regional Sales Manager (RSM) that they want to start the Globalstar certification process.
• Customer completes ST150M Product Submission Form and Equipment Details Form
• The application provides the list of items needed for certification and the product’s configuration.
• Globalstar will require 2 - 3 units for antenna tuning/tuning verification and OTA testing at Globalstar.
• Potential issues are highlighted/corrective actions made.
• Customer obtains all applicable regulatory approvals for end product.
NOTE:
Typical reasons for delays in the certification process include:
• Problems found during Antenna tuning:
• No housing submitted with circuit.
• Housing submitted is missing pieces, not in the final shape or uses materials other than what will be used in final version
of housing.
• Problems found, especially during OTA testing.
• Lack of required documentation.
• Regulatory certificate issues.
