Inmarsat have announced a new handheld satphone seemingly designed to compete with Thuraya's handheld offerings, such as the Thuraya XT along with other this kind of powerful weather and dust resistant devices.
The IsatPhone Pro offers features for instance satellite telephony, voicemail, text/email messaging, GPS location data, a claimed up to 8 several hours speak time and as much as 100 hours standby time, Bluetooth, and worldwide coverage.
Bear in mind that both Inmarsat and Thuraya's handheld versions are geared for voice, not data, capability. Inmarsat says the IsatPhone Pro will not at first provide you with a real data connection, although it does say it can receive SMS and short emails on the phone itself, and that "a circuit-switched information support at 2.4kbps is anticipated to be obtainable ... by Q1 2011?. The Thuraya XT on the other hand does offer you data capability but only at the still-relatively-slow 15/60 kbps upload/download.
So if you're seeking for any robust and weatherproof satphone (both are IP54 rated) to use for voice calls in remote places, then these versions look good. If nonetheless, you are hunting for a satphone to use for photo transmission and/or general web use, then you will probably want to be seeking at a BGAN instead, that are capable of as much as 492kbps (send and receive).
Satellite telephones help us to always in touch when in the air or out at sea.
At least if you have a Satellite phone you know that if you're outdoor you can have good signal and can call anywhere globally.
