IsatPhone 2 Rentals

Description: The Inmarsat IsatPhone 2 is a great choice if you need to make long duration calls. SMS messages can be sent to text or email addresses right from the phone. The IsatPhone 2 offers up to 8 hours of talk time on a single charge. One of the IsatPhone's important safety features is the ability to leave an automatic "bread crumb trail" of GPS location reports to an email address or text address of your choice. The IsatPhone 2 also has an emergency assistance feature that lets you simultaneously transmit a canned emergency message with your GPS position and initiate a voice call with a single button press.

Kit Includes: IsatPhone 2, belt holster, battery, DC car charger, AC wall charger, 4-piece US/Euro/UK/AU plug set, micro USB charging cable, padded softcase with backpack strap, and quick help guide.

• Optional Watertight Pelican Case
• Optional 6-Watt Solar Charging System with 44-WHr battery pack with two USB output ports. Straps to your backpack. Weight 1.5 lb.
• Optional 10-Watt Solar Charging System with 72-WHr battery pack with 12 Volt and USB output ports. Straps to your backpack. Weight 3.9 lb.
• Optional Wi-Fi Hotspot provides email for Windows 7/XP computers, Macintosh computers, iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. Photo-sharing is another great application. External AC power is required unless you rent our optional Solar Charging System. LIMITATIONS: Because of the relatively slow 1800 to 2400 bps data rate, we do not recommend sending email attachments exceeding 100 KB. The IsatPhone 2 is unsuitable for web browsing applications and broadband applications like Skype.

Coverage Limitations: Mountainous terrain and other vertical obstructions such as tall trees or buildings may block the Inmarsat satellite signal. As a rule of thumb, the Inmarsat satellite is usually accessible between 50º N latitude and 50º S latitude, though terrain masking can still occur. Even within the formal Inmarsat coverage area (shown here), we do not recommend the IsatPhone 2 for applications in extremely mountainous areas. Instead, we recommend the Iridium 9555 satellite phone.
