"Globalstar GSP-1700 satellite handset to boost interest in satellite
service"
"
The new GSP-1700 mobile satellite telephone is significantly reduced
in size and weight when compared to other global satellite handsets. The
smaller handset will help companies reduce weight when traveling to remote
areas while maintaining their ability to stay connected via Globalstar
satellite voice and data communications.
...Weighing approximately 7.1 ounces (203 grams), the newly designed
GSP-1700 telephone is nearly half the weight of the company's current
satellite handset and close to 45 percent smaller (by volume)."
The smaller, the easier to lose.
