Satellite Phones
Satellite phones are ideal for anyone needing voice and SMS capabilities in areas where no other reliable methods of telecommunications are available. Satellite phones can also be used for data services although the speeds are very slow and only suitable for plain text emails. If you are planning on regularly transferring large amounts of data we would recommend a satellite broadband terminal.
Land-Based Satellite Broadband
Satellite broadband terminals are ideal for organisations and individuals needing to transfer large amounts of data or access the internet from remote locations. Satellite terminals allow you to access the internet, corporate networks, send and receive emails and large files at speeds of up to 492 kbps and stream live video. Terminals can also be used for voice communications.
Maritime Satellite Broadband
Maritime satellite broadband terminals are aimed specifically at people that require a voice or data connection while at sea. Satellite terminals allow you to access the internet, corporate networks, download weather files, send and receive emails and large files at speeds of up to 492 kbps (dependent on the terminal) and stream live video. Terminals can also be used for voice communications.
Satellite Tracking
We offer a variety of user-friendly handheld portable or fixed mount satellite tracking devices which transmit GPS location coordinates and customised messages from almost anywhere in the world. These devices allow you to stay in contact with your friends, family or colleagues when travelling to remote locations or view the location and status of your remote assets.
Fixed Satellite Phones
If you're going to be staying in an area with no GSM coverage for a long time and you know you need to keep connected then why not look at our range of fixed sat phones. These take advantage of the Inmarsat I4 satellite network and the new Globalstar network providing a simple solution for communications if you are in a remote location.

You may wish to choose your satellite communications product based on the network coverage. Browse our maps for further information.
