What Are Satellite Phones? Satellite phones are mobile communication devices that rely on satellites to make and receive calls, messages, emails and other data files from anywhere in the world. Some satellite phones, like an Iridium satellite phone, have truly global coverage. Unlike traditional cellular phones that require the need for terrestrial cell towers, satellite phones employ a network of orbiting satellites to establish a connection. Satellite phones are often used in remote, isolated areas where cell coverage is non-existent, such as in the middle of the ocean or in remote wilderness areas. They are also used by emergency responders, disaster relief workers, and military personnel who need to communicate in areas where terrestrial network infrastructure has been disrupted or are not available. Satellite phones can be more expensive than traditional cellular phones, and they require a clear line of sight to the sky in order to establish a connection...
An independent study of three latest-generation handheld satellite phones has validated Inmarsat's claims for IsatPhone Pro, and concluded that it outperforms the Iridium 9555 and Thuraya XT in a number of critical areas. The global research programme, commissioned by Inmarsat, was conducted over a two-month period in 16 locations around the world by TelAstra, Inc., an international telecommunications consultancy with extensive experience of satellite communications.

It works everywhere and is the most rugged. The voice quality is excellent, it has a reliable...
