Gerst Capital challenges Globalstar: Prove TLPS will work on iPhone 6; Apple filings say No
Despite FCC accredited test results filed by Apple showing the opposite, Globalstar, Inc. insists that its proposed TLPS will work on iPhone 6/6+, but provides no evidence to support this claim. This is yet another example of Globalstar failing to provide technical details to substantiate its claims.
LOS ALTOS, Calif., Feb. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to comments by James Monroe, CEO of Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GSAT) disparaging Gerst Capital's technical criticism of TLPS, Gerst Capital published an open letter to CEO James Monroe.

This letter challenges Globalstar to address the following points:
- Does Globalstar have evidence to support claims that TLPS works for iPhone 6/6+ when Apple's own FCC filings indicate otherwise?
- Why are smartphones with co-existence filters so glaringly absent from all tests planned by Globalstar and Jarvinian?
- Did Globalstar or its partners remove the co-existence filter from the Ruckus 7982 AP for any of its testing which is clearly present in its test reports?
- Does the self-proclaimed "inventor of TLPS" have anything more than one year of formal engineering education?
Globalstar has a history of making unsupported technical claims as is evidenced by the record (see full letter for additional ex parte quotes):
"The OTI and PK representatives mentioned their understanding that Globalstar has repeatedly refused overtures by Wi-Fi stakeholders to conduct cooperative and transparent testing."
- Open Technology Institute, FCC Notice of Ex Parte 2/13/2015"Sprint's predecessor indicated its concern with the lack of technical information provided in the Petition.... Sprint is still concerned about the lack of technical specifications that have been provided on the record."
- Sprint Corporation, FCC Notice of Ex Parte, 5/5/2014"Globalstar has provided little useful information upon which the impact of its proposed service could be assessed and that there remain serious questions about how a TLPS would be managed and controlled."
- Wi-Fi Alliance, FCC Notice of Ex Parte 11/3/2014
Gerst Capital invites Globalstar to discuss the technical merits of TLPS in a public forum.
