Global Telesat Communications Ltd (GTC), leading suppliers of satellite communications equipment and airtime, today announced they are pleased to be stocking the RedPort WiFi Optimizer – the easiest and most cost-effective way to connect your laptop or smartphone to your satellite phone or terminal for a fast data connection.

Used in conjunction with the SpeedMail Data Compression Software or XGate the RedPort WiFi Optimizer compresses your data to allow a saving of up to 85% on your data connection costs. It also makes web browsing 3-5 times faster and sending emails 20% faster than a regular satellite phone data connection.

It has never been easier to set-up your data connection; the RedPort WiFi Optimizer comes with all of the most popular satellite phone and terminal drivers built in, all you have to do is simply plug your sat phone in and you’re connected.

"Compared to the competition’s data compression devices the RedPort WiFi Optimizer at just £100 ex VAT offers a truly cost-effective solution to the sluggish data connections currently seen on satellite phones,” said Jenna Phipps, Sales and Marketing Manager at GTC. “This device allows our customers to get the most out of their sat phone and is perfect for those who need access to email and the web in remote locations.”

Not only does the device speed up data transfer it also comes with a built in firewall which will automatically block any unwanted traffic such as automatic updates which can cause satellite data costs to rocket. The WiFi capability enables you to access email and internet wirelessly via your Windows or Mac computer and a specially designed app also makes it possible on your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

The Optimizer is powered by an AC charger although 12V chargers and batteries are also available offering a variety of flexible power options when travelling whether it be by boat, vehicle or on foot! Using a satellite phone to send photos of your journey back home or update social networks such as Facebook and Twitter is now a realistic possibility thanks to the RedPort WiFi Optimizer.
