Globalstar Australia, Iridium and Thuraya enable security and other business professionals to receive and make telephone calls anywhere in Australia.  Iridium offers a world wide service that is second to none.  In this site we feature the Iridium 9505A, The Thuraya SG-2620 and Globalstar's Qualcomm and Telit satellite phones.

If you live and work in Australia and travel often through areas without standard mobile phone coverage and are on the market for a satellite phone, I strongly suggest you lodge an application for a subsidy from the Australian Government.  If you qualify, your handset will be heavily discounted--there are huge savings.

The subsidy is not going to last forever.  It would be a shame if you missed out.   All the information you need is in the file we have prepared for you.  Remember that you must post the form, do not fax it or E-mail it as it will be rejected.  if you need help send us an E-mail.

Our range of Satellite Phones

Iridium 9505a

Iridium offers true global satellite coverage.  For operations where world wide satellite coverage is a critical requirement, the Iridium Satellite Phone is the best (only) choice.

Iridium enjoys one of the largest constellation of satellites in the world.  It is a truly global service.

I took the Iridium Satellite Phone 9505A with me during a security training assignment in Papua New Guinea--one of the most wonderful and memorable experience I have ever enjoyed as a security trainer. 

The Iridium Satellite Phone 9505A was there whenever I needed it--it kept me in touch with loved ones and clients. 

I also enjoyed the free SMS service that Iridium Satellite Phones offer their customers--become their customer and you will be able to receive free web based SMS messages to your handset.  This service is very useful and cuts on costs.  Quite often, a short SMS message is all that is required.

The newcomer in Australia, the Thuraya Satellite Phone Service is bound to become the most popular provider of satellite phones in Australia, I say this for two reasons:

• Thuraya's has recently released the smartest, best looking, best value for money and most attractive satellite phone in the world.  I am speaking about the Thuraya SG-2620.  When I saw the Thuraya SG-2620 Smart Satellite Phone and read through the features my first thought was "I want one!".  I also immediately thought of many of my customers who will want to buy one.
  
  Let's face it, when you think the word Satellite phone, what comes to mind is dull green screens, brick designs, the weight of a medium size dumbbell and features that remind you of the 1950's table telephones.
   
• Not so with Thuraya -- the compact SG-2620 is ultra smart (has more features that some of the best and latest digital phones).  It is a good looking phone with a beautiful big bright colour screen--and it is very affordable.

• Thuraya is a very smart and progressive Satellite Phone Service provider.  In Europe they dominate the market and for very good reasons.  In my view they are the future in Satellite Phones for localised general commercial use
   

• The Thuraya SG-2620 Satellite Phones offer a dual mode GSM + Satellite Phone service.  Where standard digital phone service is not available, the Thuraya SG-2620 satellite phone will automatically switch to satellite mode.
  This is great news for those people who travel through regional Australia where standard digital telephone service can be patchy at times.  From a safety point of view, if you travel outside main city centres you must have one of these beautiful phones.
  
  From a business point of view, the Thuraya SG-2620, is a breath of fresh air.  The Thuraya SG-2620 satellite phone can be even programmed to send a GPS fix of your current location as an SMS message!
  
  Did I forget to tell you that is also has an on board GPS system to keep you on track.  This will integrate beautifully with you computer, laptop or notebook.

Globalstar Satellite Phones offers great value for money.   Their dual mode satellite phone and CDMA mobile networks offer unmatched savings.  They also have a dual mode GSM Satellite phone service.

CDMA is smart and efficient technology and provides safe, clear and reliable communication.  Because CDMA is so widely available in Australia, your satellite phone will function on the cheaper CDMA mobile rates more often--this means greater savings to you.

Unfortunately, the future of CDMA is very shaky at present.  But for as long as it lasts the Qualcomm GSP 1600 is a very nice compact and rugged phone.

Qualcomm is one of the world's most respected service providers--reliability and quality is essential to our clients.
