During Wednesday’s Current trade, Shares of Globalstar, Inc. (NYSEMKT:GSAT), shares showed no change to $1.69.
In 2005, Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT), then headquartered in Milpitas, CA, worked around the clock to ship thousands of satellite phones to the Gulf Coast region and specifically, New Orleans, providing vital communications capabilities to FEMA, state and local government agencies and the Mississippi National Guard and Civic Air Patrol. NBC 11 stated in this segment, “Thanks to these phones and this company, thousands of people in the Gulf will at last be able to reach out and communicate.”
Now, 10 years later, Globalstar calls the New Orleans area home and because of the team’s experiences through hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Company has dedicated itself to becoming the authority on emergency preparedness communications. On a national level, Globalstar wants to encourage all individuals, businesses and emergency response organizations to add its affordable satellite technology to their disaster recovery plans and has just launched a special webpage dedicated to this endeavor.

Shares of Nuance Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN), declined -0.69% to $16.84, during its current trading session.
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NUAN) declared that the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has accomplished its two-phased deployment of Nuance’s voice biometrics solutions in its call center in an effort to build stronger customer relationships with taxpayers and enhance authentication by replacing intrusive security questioning. With the introduction of its voice biometrics systems, ATO becomes the first organization in Australia to deploy voice biometrics in this manner.
The ATO receives about nine million calls per year from the community, with around 75 percent of these calls requiring an ATO agent to verify the caller’s identity. In addition, the ATO anticipates to receive more than half (4.3) million of these calls within its three-month peak tax period between July and October 2015. Preceding to voice biometrics, when a customer called to conduct a transaction with the ATO, the authentication process involved several steps, putting pressure not only on customers to provide personal details or have the correct documentation in front of them, but also on the ATO’s call center agents, who collectively spent about 75,000 hours each year just trying to verify customers over the phone.
Nuance Communications, Inc. provides voice and language solutions for businesses and consumers worldwide. It offers hosted and on-premise solutions and services that provide platforms to generate and distribute clinical documentation through the use of dictation and transcription features; clinical documentation improvement programs; and speech recognition solutions for radiology, cardiology, pathology, and related specialties enabling healthcare providers to dictate, edit, and sign reports without manual transcription.
