What is a satellite phone?
A satellite phone is a phone that makes it possible to connect anywhere in the world. The satellite phones from our range are able to share both voice and text messages. When you are deep at sea, it can be extremely useful to have such a phone at hand. After all, you never know what can happen on the rough seas and in the event of emergencies you naturally want to be assured that you can be connected to the 'outside world'. A satellite phone from Mediawinkel.eu offers at least 4 hours of talk time and the standby time can be up to about 160 hours.
The history
Since the late 1970s, satellites have been used to communicate over long distances. However, the transmitting and receiving installations at that time were large and difficult to move. In the year 1982, International Maritime Sattelite Organization, now also known as Inmarsat, introduced a system suitable for mobile communications. This system worked based on satellites. Until 1989, these systems would mainly be used at sea, but from this year onwards these systems also became available for land-based communications.
In the late 1980s, Canada was the first country to take advantage of the opportunity to provide telecommunications to sparsely populated and remote areas. They did this by introducing satellite telephony. This meant that it was not necessary to build expensive infrastructure in these remote areas to enable communication. Nowadays there are several satellite networks around the world, namely: Iridium, Thuraya, Globalstar, Inmarsat and Aces.
However, at Mediawinkel.eu you will only find a satellite phone based on the Iridium and Inmarsat networks. We have chosen these networks because these networks offer the most complete coverage. For example, the Iridium network offers worldwide coverage and the Inmarsat worldwide coverage with the exception of the polar regions. This allows us to assure you that you can keep in touch with important people or authorities almost anywhere in the world with our satellite phones.
Benefit from worldwide coverage
Because our satellite phones work via the global satellite network, you are assured of coverage throughout the world. The telephone therefore offers a solution when you are in areas with poor or even no working mobile network. In addition, our iridium Extreme 9575 satellite phone is equipped with a built-in GPS receiver. This makes it possible to see your exact location at a glance. This location can then easily be passed on to emergency authorities in the event of an emergency.
Resistant to extreme conditions
Of course, you don't buy a satellite phone without a reason. The most common reason for purchasing this telephone is that you want to be reachable under the most extreme circumstances. An example of such an extreme circumstance is when you are far out at sea and want to stay in touch if something goes wrong. In addition, our satellite phones also offer a solution in dangerous circumstances where there are high temperatures or, for example, high pressure. In any case, we can assure you that our phones can withstand the most extreme conditions, so you are also assured of a working phone in the event of scorching heat, icy cold, desert sandstorms or monsoon rain.
