Planning for an aussie ocean adventure? Being sent out to sea for work or trying out a new hobby of deep water fishing?
Australia is well known for its stunning oceans, but the signal at sea is far different than on land because of the absence of cell towers, that’s where satellite phones step in, offering the backup you hope you’ll never need. A satellite phone should give you coverage wherever you are, allowing you to keep in touch with loved ones back home. They can be a lifesaver, from seeking the help of marine rescue services if you’ve broken down to full-blown emergencies.
We have a full range of SAT Phones and Hotspot devices available for sale…BUT…if you’re not wanting to purchase one outright, then hiring a SAT Phone is the next best thing! Satellite phones are easy to use, and provide you with the assurance of communication in remote locations to keep you safe and connected. Our SAT phones provide you with full coverage across Australia on the Inmarsat or Iridium network (depending on the device you hire).
They are the ultimate insurance policy in your pocket!
WHY HIRE A SAT PHONE?
When you’re out at sea, a satellite phone really does provide you with peace of mind knowing if you need it…you have it.
A VHF marine radio has a range limitation, and while a personal distress beacon is good for an emergency, it doesn’t let rescuers know why you need help, neither have the versatility of a sat phone.
A satellite phone doesn’t use ground-based mobile phone towers. Instead, it relies on line-of-sight to satellites orbiting overhead – important to remember if the satellite phone handset uses a flip antenna.
Once connected, a satellite phone can make and receive calls or text messages, and transfer data similar to a smartphone.
