Satellite Phones
Satellite Phones
Satellite Phones can be used from virtually any point on the globe. (The higher the
altitude, the better) Satellite phones can be thought of as cell phones with a worldwide
network. Satellite Phones get their name because of the fact that they use satellites to
transmit signals from one point to another. Satellite phones have been in use for many
years now predominantly by governments and militaries. Over the last couple of years,
however, satellite phones are being marketed for personal and business use.
Satellite phones can be very useful if you are in a remote section of the world such as a
jungle, dessert or if you are on a cruise ship. With increased communication demands in
business, travel and technology the need for satellite phones has become more prevalent.
By the year 2006, the Global Mobile Personal Communication Service (GMPCS)
predicts that the mobile communications market will reach over $47 billion with satellite
phones as one of the leading products. Satellite phones are available for purchase or
rental. The most common brands of Satellite Phones are Globalstar, RBGAN, NERA,
Iridium, Inmarsat, Thuraya and Pelican.
Global Direct Services provides access to free Satellite Phones information and
resources.
