Inmarsat have announced a new handheld satphone seemingly developed to compete with Thuraya's handheld offerings, for example the Thuraya XT and other such robust weather and dust resistant devices.

The IsatPhone Pro offers characteristics including satellite telephony, voicemail, text/email messaging, GPS location info, a claimed up to 8 hours talk time and up to 100 hours standby time, Bluetooth, and worldwide coverage.

Bear in thoughts that each Inmarsat and Thuraya's handheld models are geared for voice, not info, capability. Inmarsat says the IsatPhone Pro will not initially provide a real information connection, even though it does say it can obtain SMS and short emails around the phone itself, and that "a circuit-switched data service at 2.4kbps is expected to be accessible ... by Q1 2011?. The Thuraya XT around the other hand does present data capacity but only at the still-relatively-slow 15/60 kbps upload/download.

So if you're searching for a robust and weatherproof satphone (both are IP54 rated) to utilize for voice calls in remote locations, then these models appear good. If however, you're searching for a satphone to make use of for photo transmission and/or standard world wide web use, then you will most likely want to be looking at a BGAN instead, which are capable of up to 492kbps (send and receive).

Satellite mobile phones allow us to help to keep in touch in case in the air or out at sea.

At least if you have a Satellite phone you know that if you're outside you can get good coverage and can be able to call anywhere around the world.
