    Interesting Device that Converts I phone to Sat phone

    This is a great product, just keep in mind that the Thuraya satellite constellation's footprint doesn't cover the Western Hemisphere. It is a good option for Asia, Europe, Australia, and central and northern Africa.

    Spot Messenger or Connect Hardwire to 12V Battery Source

    There is a RAM mount for the inReach. You can see it here: http://www.ocens.com/inReach-SE-Vehicle-Mount-P578C128.aspx. In my opinion, gutting the inReach would be a lot more difficult (if even possible), because of its construction.

    Iridium GO HotSpot ?

    You are absolutely right. Can you tell me more about how you've integrated your GO with your onboard PBX?

    Iridium GO HotSpot ?

    I know what you mean. It also disrupted some of our services for a while, so it even caught us by surprise. That said, in my experience, very few people use the email to text, so that's probably why it didn't cause much of a ripple.

    Iridium GO HotSpot ?

    I can agree with most of this. However, the email to text option you mention was shut down by Iridium a while ago. You can still use the web interface, or we developed a smartphone app, called SatMS, that messages to any satellite phone number from your smartphone for free. A caller can always...

    Iridium GO HotSpot ?

    The GO and the handheld phones have the same relative reception. The GO can tend to be more stable, because you are typically setting it down and not holding it to your head like a handheld. Also, the antenna is stubbier, so it is less likely to get damaged like the long slender ones on the...

    Satellite based e-mail for Grand Canyon trip??

    Matt, you can easily keep up on your email from any location in the world with simply an Iridium GO, your own smartphone, and our OneMail app. OneMail is the only app available that will allow you to access a gmail account directly via a satellite phone data connection. We also just recently...

    Iridium GO HotSpot ?

    In regards to the messaging, we developed an app, called OneMessage, that directly addresses this and is a huge step up from the messaging built into the GO app, or plain old SMS messaging over a satellite phone. It gives you private, client-to-client, secure messaging that works on any...

    Satellite Internet Apps - what new apps do you want or need?

    For anyone interested, the OneMail email app now supports sending photos directly from your smartphone and it highly compresses it but maintains a reasonably high image quality. On an Iridium handheld or GO it takes about 3 minutes to transfer an 853x640 pixel image, whereas in the raw iphone...

    Iridium GO HotSpot ?

    Thanks for the feedback. We can actually get an Australian number for your Iridium phone as well. It just costs an additional $10 per month.

    Satellite Internet Apps - what new apps do you want or need?

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the regular app" so if you can clarify that I would appreciate it. OneMail is a new product that was designed to address the ability to access your actual email account directly on your smartphone/tablet via a low bandwidth satellite phone. A data call on an...

    Satellite Internet Apps - what new apps do you want or need?

    The messaging app already exists, which you can see here: http://www.ocens.com/OneMessage-Satellite-Messaging-App-P712C132.aspx. The location notification capability is already built into the current satellite phones as well as the inReach. I was wondering if you could elaborate on when you...
