Businesses in the sea are very large, such as shipping services, fishing, transportation and many others. This is normal because the world’s sea area reaches 70% and has abundant natural resources. Communication is very important to support business operations running well. Unfortunately the GSM network and other terrestrial networks have not reached the middle of sea. Because of that, satellite phone is a best solution that can overcome this problem.

Satellite phones work with networks whose signal reception systems are located in the sky, so their coverage is very wide. Communication can still be done with satellite networks such as calling and SMS. With the satellite phone, communication can run very well, such as sending reports to the office, contacting your family and business partners.

Satellite phones have many types and functions, such as telephone and sms, and some types of satellite phones are capable to accessing the internet network for sending e-mails and browsing. Before owning a satellite phone you can adjust base on your requirements. Service providers are also various such as Iridium, Thuraya and Inmarsat. Each provider has advantages and disadvantages of each.
