Thuraya SKYPHONE Smart Satellite Phone

Stay Connected Beyond Cellular Coverage

The Thuraya SKYPHONE is a next-generation satellite smartphone that combines everyday mobile functionality with direct satellite connectivity. Designed for professionals, travellers, and explorers who operate beyond the reach of traditional networks, it allows you to make calls and send SMS messages via satellite while still working like a modern Android smartphone.

With support for cellular networks including 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G alongside Thuraya satellite coverage, the SKYPHONE automatically extends your communications to remote areas where mobile signal disappears.

Whether you're working in the field, travelling across remote regions, or simply want the reassurance of always-available connectivity, the SKYPHONE ensures you stay in touch wherever your work or adventures take you.

Hybrid Cellular + Satellite Connectivity

Unlike traditional satellite phones that are used only when cellular networks fail, the SKYPHONE works as a true dual-mode device.

Insert a standard mobile SIM card and use it like any other smartphone in urban areas. When you move outside mobile coverage, simply activate the satellite connection to continue making calls and sending messages.

This hybrid design means you can carry a single device instead of managing both a smartphone and a satellite handset.

Key benefits include

• Satellite voice calls and SMS from remote locations
• Cellular connectivity across global 5G, 4G, 3G and 2G networks
• Dual-SIM capability for terrestrial and satellite connections
• Roaming compatibility with hundreds of network partners worldwide

For many users, this makes the SKYPHONE one of the most versatile communication tools available for working beyond cellular coverage.

A Satellite Phone That Works Like a Smartphone

The SKYPHONE delivers the performance and user experience expected from a modern Android device. Running the latest Android operating system and powered by a Qualcomm octa-core processor, it provides the speed and responsiveness required for apps, messaging, navigation, and productivity tools.

Its large 6.67-inch AMOLED touchscreen provides a bright, high-resolution display protected by durable Gorilla Glass, ensuring the phone remains easy to use in demanding outdoor environments.

The retractable satellite antenna stays hidden within the phone until satellite mode is required, preserving the familiar look and feel of a conventional smartphone while enabling reliable satellite communications when needed.

When you’re working or travelling in challenging environments, your communications equipment needs to be reliable.

The SKYPHONE is designed to handle demanding conditions with:

• IP67 protection against dust and water
• Durable construction suitable for outdoor and industrial environments
• Long battery life designed for extended field use
• Integrated GNSS support including GPS, Galileo, Glonass and BeiDou for accurate positioning and navigation

These capabilities make it well suited for professionals operating in remote locations where dependable communication is essential.
