Products: Satellite Phone Service - Iridium Cell Phones & More

Our satellite cell phone products work over two types of satellite networks—geostationary networks that are higher and more powerful for purposes of data sharing, and LEO networks that are closer to earth and more reliable in harsh weather and remote locations.

Inmarsat and Thuraya networks use satellites that are higher and more powerful. For a user who needs not only satellite phone service, but also file sharing and services like video streaming, phones that work over these networks are the ones to choose. (Getting these services at remote locations sometimes requires large satellite dishes, so note that BGAN terminals are smaller than a laptop and, therefore, easier to transport.)

Globalstar and Iridium networks operate on LEO satellites with positions that are closer to earth. This type of satellite telephone provides service to remote places that traditional cell phones cannot. In addition, some models are equipped for harsh conditions. An Iridium phone, for example, is not only “tough” in standing up to conditions like harsh weather, but it can also be used on a cruise (saving the $4 terminal fee) or in remote locations like mountains or deserts.

Phones on both geostationary and LEO networks can be used in remote locations, though we recommend checking individual phones before purchase to be sure they can reach the areas where you need service. Do you only need to speak and receive voicemail? Or do you need video conferencing as well? While each network offers many services, those requiring heavy data transfer are better served over geostationary satellites. Each of our products includes a precise description.
