Globalstar shares (NYSEAMERICAN: GSAT) jumped 16% following an announcement that the company will be the satellite operator for the new emergency SOS service for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).
The announcement comes right on the heels of Apple’s hardware event that announced new iPhones featuring a new feature called Emergency SOS via Satellite, which can connect to emergency services even when the phone’s user is outside of cellular or Wi-Fi range.
In a filing, Globalstar said that it will serve as the service provider and that it has completed several milestones for the service ranging from initial feasibility up to “rigorous” in-field system testing with Apple.
Apple is expected to begin emergency services in the fourth quarter.

Should I buy Globalstar shares today?
Globalstar shares have been on the rise in the past month and yesterday’s deal with Apple is expected to drive the stock price even higher.
Nevertheless, you should invest wisely especially since the GSAT stock had slipped by 15.8% prior to the Apple deal. In August, Steve Weiss also indicated that the road ahead for Qualcomm shares is a difficult one.
