SatPhone Rentals

	Iridium 9575 Extreme Rental Iridium 9575 Extreme Satellite Phone: This satellite phone is the flagship of Iridium phones. It has enhanced features including easy-to-grip diamond tread rubber armor and GPS tracking capability. Its IP 65 rating against dust and rain intrusion helps assure reliable operation even in extreme environments. You can configure the Iridium 9575 Extreme to automatically transmit your GPS position to any text or email address. Like all Iridium phones, the Iridium 9575 Extreme provides global coverage for voice and SMS messaging--even in heavily mountainous terrain. Our rental kit includes a weather resistant soft carry case, an AC wall charger, DC car charger, and USB charging cable. DATA USERS PLEASE READ: Iridium internet access speeds are very slow (2.4 kbps) compared to the mega-bit-per-second data speeds you are probably used to while using conventional home and office internet services. Optional compression software is available for email but Iridium is not fast enough for web browsing or Skype. For more information, click here.
	Iridium GO! Hotspot Rental Iridium GO! Hotspot: Our Iridium GO! rental kit includes includes Unlimited Data and Texting for use with Iridium-approved apps. The Iridium GO! app gives you the easy texting and phone call functionality you are used to on your iPhone, iPad or Android smart device, and it can be used to automatically transmit your position to a friend for improved safety while you are traveling. To put it in a nutshell, the Iridium GO! is a small portable Wi-Fi hotspot for your smartphone that has global coverage. It lets you make calls and send texts or even emails. You can share photos which will be compressed automatically. All you need to do is install free apps onto your smartphone. Optional Bundled Minute packages are available for making phone calls. PLEASE READ: Iridium GO! internet access speeds are very slow (2.4 kbps) compared to the mega-bit-per-second data speeds you probably experience while using conventional home and office internet services. While using an Iridium GO!, you must limit yourself to Iridium-approved email app, and we strongly advice that attachments be kept under 100KB. Web browsing, Skype, and video services are definitely not supportable over an Iridium GO! If you need fast internet access, please look at our Inmarsat BGAN and Inmarsat GX rental offerings discussed below. For more information, click here.

The EXPLORER 510 can also be used with an iPhone to make voice calls (a free app must be installed on your iPhone). The Hughes 9211 HDR BGAN terminal is suitable for high quality video broadcasting applications where streaming IP data speeds up to 750 kbps are necessary.

The Hornet 65 GX rental kit is a two-case fly-away kit suitable for an NGO or corporate team that needs unlimited use of internet access.

Unlimited internet access can be purchased in 7-day increments as needed with CIR data speeds up to 4 Mbps, and this can be done during the course of the rental on an as-needed basis. We recommend that you rent a handheld satellite phone so that you can call us for support or to activate service.
