The world’s most versatile satellite phone has been released in Australia, giving workers and adventurers secure and reliable communications in remote locations.
Local distribution partner TC Communications launched IsatPhone Pro, Inmarsat’s first global handheld satellite phone.
IsatPhone Pro is a ‘game changer’ in the remote environment market, offering the longest battery life, the most robust handset, reliable global coverage, clear voice quality and ease of use at the most competitive price point in the market.
It offers up to eight hours talk time and up to 100 hours on standby – the longest battery life in the market.
The phone is dust, splash and shock resistant, with an Ingress protection rating of IP54.
It is also capable of operating at the widest temperature range, from -20°C to +55°C.
Developed for professional users in the government, media, aid, oil and gas, mining and construction sectors, as well as recreational users and adventurers travelling to remote locations, IsatPhone Pro offers high-quality satellite telephony, text and email messaging.
Location data can also be viewed and sent in a text message. Its unique design - including a fully-manoeuvrable antenna - allows the handset to be placed on its side for easy hands-free use via Bluetooth.
A range of different docks are available including the Beam IsatDock LITE for semi-permanent installation in a variety of applications, IsatDock DRIVE for in-vehicle hands-free calling, tracking and alert and IsatDock MARINE designed for maritime application.
According to Todd McDonell, CEO, TC Communications, IsatPhone Pro marks a new era in mobile satellite communications in Australia.
“The new handheld from Inmarsat will give both the professional market and recreational users a reliable and cost effective way to communicate from the most remote environments anywhere in the world,” he said.
“With the introduction of IsatPhone Pro, any Australian working in remote locations or interested in travel and outdoor pursuits can have that peace of mind for less than the cost of international mobile phone roaming.”
As part of the release of IsatPhone Pro, TC Communications has launched a new website to exclusively feature its satellite phone range.
