Reliability and Mobility
Satellite phones can provide greater reliability than traditional cell phones, as they are not as vulnerable as cellular towers to disaster and swings in traffic. This means, if there is a disaster and cellular towers are down or congested from a large number of callers, satellite phones will still be operational and enable you to communicate with your team.
The equipment is easy to set up and handy to carry for workers and operations on the move. You will have a connection even in isolated areas if you have remote offices. This kind of mobility can come in very handy if you are taking a cruise, yachting in international waters or traveling by plane. Outdoor lovers hiking or camping in remote locations will have an additional safety net with satellite phones.
You and your team will have immediate communication service even in remote and rural areas to ensure everyone’s safety and security. You will be able to reach your customers and your vendors. Traditional cell phones rely on terrestrial towers and may not have service in the same remote regions. This is crucial for industries that have workers in typically inaccessible locations. Oil and gas rig crews are able to call their families with satellite where they may not be able to connect through traditional cell phones. Archaeologists are able to call in and even send videos of findings in real-time. The technology is truly amazing.
Cost and Communications Solutions
Some businesses, especially new, emerging or smaller businesses, may shy away from satellite options because they perceive with increased reliability comes increased cost, but satellite cost is actually quite comparable to traditional cellular plans. Additionally, satellite gives you consistent connection, a larger service area and peace of mind that just can’t compare with traditional cellular service.
Your customers and teammates won’t have to wait when you use satellite communication solutions. You will be instantly connected with light, easy-to-use solutions to maintain your business operations, even in places where your traditional cellular phone just doesn’t work.
And satellite solutions aren’t just limited to phone services. With satellite, you can email, page, access the web, text and transfer files with more reliability than traditional cellular networks. You can use satellite to communicate between the office and the field, or even field to field if your business requires it.
Satellite Meets Cellular
If you’re still attached to your traditional cell phone, there’s a way for you to have the best of both worlds. With the Thuraya SatSleeve you can use your regular cell phone in areas where receiving a terrestrial based cellular signal would be impossible. This device pairs with your Samsung Galaxy or iPhone via Bluetooth and allows you tap into a satellite network that spans over 160 countries, so you can talk, text and use all your mobile apps wherever you travel.
