ICOM IC-SAT100M

**Custom Order - 1-2 week lead time**

The ICOM IC-SAT100M is a fixed-mount Iridium® Push-to-Talk satellite phone solution designed for both in-building and in-vehicle applications. It comes ready with everything needed for in-building applications with a pole-mountable antenna but an optional AH-40 magnetic-mount vehicle antenna is also available.

Standard on the IC-SAT100M is a large multi-function 1500mW speaker/microphone that is purpose built for noisy environments. A left-side PTT button and knobs on top of the handset for controlling volume and Talk Group selection make the user experience similar to operating Land Mobile Radios.

The IC-SAT100M is designed specifically for in-vehicle and in-building applications. Unlike other fixed mount satellite solutions, the IC-SAT100M does not require expensive coaxial cable runs to the external antenna unit; the IC-SAT100M connects to the antenna unit via standard ethernet cable.

Comparison of IC-SAT100M to Iridium Extreme PTT

The IC-SAT100M is a PTT-only satellite phone which cannot make "private" phone calls to fixed or cellular numbers. By comparison, the Iridium Extreme PTT can make "private" phone calls, but only after switching from push-to-talk mode to telephony mode. That said, the IC-SAT100M was purpose-built for PTT and has many clear advantages:

• The IC-SAT100M is a fixed-mount system, including an ethernet-connected external antenna, or an optional low-profile magnetic mount antenna; an Iridium Extreme PTT solution requires the purchase of a separate dock, coaxial cable, and antenna.
• The IC-SAT100M can record up to 8 minutes of conversation. This allows someone in a noisy environment to replay the last few incoming transmissions. The Iridium Extreme PTT doesn't have this capability.
• The IC-SAT100M has a bright orange Emergency Button that instantly transmits an alarm in the Priority Talk Group. The Iridium Extreme PTT doesn't have this capability.
• The IC-SAT100M handset can simultaneously send a 100-character text message to all other IC-SAT100 handsets on the current Talk Group. The Iridium Extreme PTT doesn't have Texting-over-PTT capability.
• Android phones connected via Bluetooth to an IC-SAT100M can participate in texting-over-push-to-talk using a special app.
