Marine Satellite Phones

Commercial fishermen, transcontinental cargo ship staff, competitive sailing boat crews and aviation professionals can now stay as firmly connected to their colleagues on land as if they were connected to a land-based phone network. Marine satellite phones use groups of geosynchronous satellites to relay signals quickly and reliably. The models we carry at World Communication Center are used by professionals in almost every demanding field.

Inmarsat and Iridium are the leading names and innovators in marine satellite phones. Both companies use multi-satellite systems for the most complete coverage available, yet are easy to install. Some models are quite compact, and docking stations, which we carry, also contribute to the flexibility of the phone.

Monitor Cargo and Make Calls from Marine Satellite Phones

Most marine satellite phones have easy-to-read displays and resist moisture to some degree so that you can still communicate in dark, rough weather. Many models are small and lightweight, and you can choose how you want to transfer data--which determines how you will be charged. ISDN options charge you per minute of data transfer, while MPDS charges you by the amount of data exchanged.

One of the marine satellite phones we carry at World Communication Center is the Inmarsat Fleet 33 by Thrane and Thrane. This affordable model is compact and allows for small file transfers, e-mail access and Internet browsing in addition to its voice capabilities. If you need greater data transfer capabilities and more data transfer speed, as well as other features, the Fleet 77 is another model we carry. It is the most powerful option in Inmarsat marine satellite phones.
