Satellite Phone & Portable Internet Device Rentals

What is a Satellite Phone?
Satellite phones (sat phone, terminal, satellite cell phone) are mobile communication devices designed to connect to a satellite to communicate when you’re in a geographical area that doesn’t have any cellular coverage.

With constant advances in technology, we can go beyond communicating with voice and text via satellite because now it’s possible to transmit data too using a Wi-Fi satellite hotspot device.

Smart connectivity technology works with mobile satellite antennas, wireless satellite hotspots, and portable satellite internet terminals to transmit voice and data and keep you connected to the world, no matter where you are.

How Does It Work?
Iridium and Inmarsat are two of four satellite phone providers in the world, and the only 2 that work reliably in north America.

These networks use different configurations and technologies specifically, Geosynchronous satellites (GEO) for Inmarsat and Iridium's Low Earth Orbit (LEO) system over different global locations.

Satellite phones and satellite internet devices transmit voice and data by connecting to one of these satellites in the sky. The days of sat phones being these chunky and heavy pieces of equipment are fading fast with advances in technology.

Satellite communication devices are offering more and more features like Internet and Bluetooth connectivity and one day the sat phone will be on par with the smartphone. Feature-rich phones are typically more expensive so when looking for your first sat phone, consider they’re meant for emergency communications in isolated areas or places without a cellular infrastructure.
