New Satellite Phone - Isatphone Pro

Inmarsat will be releasing their new Isatphone in June. This means we should have our stock of this new satphone by then (we will keep you up to date on this). The images look great and the functionality is alot better than the current Isatphone.

The below is from the Inmarsat press release:

'The first images of the IsatPhone Pro have been released to coincide with the announcement of the first call to be made using the new global handheld phone.
The IsatPhone Pro, which will be launched in June, will offer satellite telephony - with Bluetooth for hands-free use - as well as voicemail, SMS text and email messaging. Location data will also be available to the user to look up or send in a text message.
"The first call is a significant milestone, and we're pleased with the voice quality in initial tests," said Helen Stalker, commercial director of Global Satellite Phone Services at Inmarsat.

Robust handset
"IsatPhone Pro is the ultimate combination. It's a robust handset that's easy to use, has long battery life, and offers a reliable global network connection.
"And it's provided by Inmarsat, the market leader, with 30 years' experience in providing global mobile satellite services."
The Isatphone Pro has successfully passed a number of key milestones ahead of its launch in June.

Ground network
The upgrade of Inmarsat's ground network has been completed by Lockheed Martin, and further testing on the integration between the handset and the ground network continues as planned.
The handset itself has been developed by Sasken Communications Technologies, which has led similar programmes for most of the world's top mobile phone operators.
Production of the IsatPhone Pro is being undertaken by Elcoteq, the world's third largest manufacturer of mobile phones, at its facility in Tallinn, Estonia.
Professional users

The Isatphone Pro is targeted initially at professional users in the government, media, aid, oil and gas, mining and construction sectors.'
