Quick Compare
When considering satellite phones with multi-user capabilities the Hughes 9201 offers more concurrent connections (11 vs 7), is a couple of pounds lighter and the fixed mount kit is a unique accessory offering an extra level of flexibility. Further, the 9201 is typically priced at a 25% discount to the Explorer 700. However, consider the Expo 700 offers Bluetooth and a more current Wi-Fi standard (802.11g vs 802.11b).

At barely six pounds, the terminal’s light weight and compact size allows your team to easily transition from site to site and be connected again within minutes. With the fixed mount kit, the terminal remains outside to endure the elements (or worse, though it is not bullet proof), while your team remains within the safe confines of a shelter. When you’re at a remote locale, communication is critical. Inmarsat BGAN service when coupled with the 9201, offers a portable network that enables your teams to deliver any information anywhere, anytime.

Portable satellite phones like the Hughes 9201 must be stationary to receive a signal for walk-and-talk communications. For communication while in motion, you may want to consider a handheld satellite phone or review the vehicle, marine or aeronautical sections that best suit your needs.
