Inmarsat have announced a new handheld satphone seemingly created to compete with Thuraya's handheld offerings, such as the Thuraya XT and other such robust climate and dust resistant devices.
The IsatPhone Pro offers features for example satellite telephony, voicemail, text/email messaging, GPS location information, a claimed up to 8 hours talk time and up to 100 hrs standby time, Bluetooth, and worldwide coverage.
Bear in mind that both Inmarsat and Thuraya's handheld models are geared for voice, not information, capability. Inmarsat says the IsatPhone Pro will not initially provide an actual data connection, although it does say it can receive SMS and short emails for the phone itself, and that "a circuit-switched data service at 2.4kbps is expected to become available ... by Q1 2011?. The Thuraya XT on the other hand does provide data ability but only at the still-relatively-slow 15/60 kbps upload/download.
So if you're looking for a powerful and weatherproof satphone (both are IP54 rated) to use for voice calls in remote areas, then these models look good. If nevertheless, you're searching for any satphone to use for photo transmission and/or general web use, then you will probably want to be searching at a BGAN instead, which are capable of up to 492kbps (send and obtain).
Satellite telephones help us to stay in touch while in the air or out at sea.
At least if you have a Satellite phone you know that if you're outside you can get excellent signal and can call anywhere globally.
