Satellite Phones & PTT Global Radios

PTT radios communicate with other PTT phones at the touch of a button ANYWHERE ON THE GLOBE. No infrastructure to build out and service is 100% global. Maintain an instant com-link to a team from anywhere. A great new technology that provides radio service to all dead zones. We’re showcasing two Iridium-based PTT options here, plus a traditional satellite phone from Inmarsat, that’s ruggedised and useable even with gloves on.

Portable Satellite Internet

Ground Control offers a wide variety of portable satellite internet devices for use in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. What we mean by portable is that the devices are small enough to pick up and carry, and all of these devices fit the bill. They are all BGAN devices, which means they use the Inmarsat BGAN airtime service – connecting to geostationary satellites for a very stable satellite connection, which is particularly important for VoIP calls.

Portable Satellite Internet Devices

BGAN Link is advertised as “all you can eat” at one fixed location. While speeds are not as fast as VSAT dishes, these terminals can be installed by anyone and used for almost anything.
