ICOM fixed-mount satellite PTT terminal
Availability: CUSTOM ORDER - Please Call for Delivery 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. Here are some of the other key features of the ICOM IC-SAT100M:

  • Operates in extreme cold and heat: -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C)
  • Global Iridium® Coverage
  • Top-facing knob allows easy switching amongst up to 15 Talk Groups.
  • Built-in Bluetooth
  • Built-in GPS receiver
  • Fully interoperable with Iridium Extreme® PTT handsets
  • IP67 Ingress Protection Rating (for external antenna RF unit) allows 1 meter deep water submersion for up to 30 minutes.
  • Meets the 810G military standard.

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 in an of itself, including an ethernet-connected external antenna, or an optional low-profile magnetic mount antenna; and Iridium Extreme PTT solution required purchase of a separate dock, coaxial cable, and antenna.
  • The IC-SAT100M has the ability to 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.

Iridium® Push-to-Talk Service Plans

Unlimited push-to-talk communications are included for a low monthly fee. Each subscriber organization has its own administrative web portal which allows an administrator to quickly and easily adjust the boundaries of talk groups by simply placing circles, rectangles, and other controls on a map.   Different subscriber organizations can also temporarily share a talk group when collaboration is needed.  All of this can be done on the fly using the web portal. 

*The IC-SAT100M does not support telephony functions so these features of the service plan do not apply to this particular model.
