IRIDIUM SATELLITE NETWORK HOW TO
Satellite phone handsets are not as straight forward to use as normal mobile phones and knowing how to use them correctly will make a huge difference. The Go! Wi-Fi device has it’s applications – it’s handy for regular SMS comm’s and given the Wi-Fi connection its good in situations where a wireless connection is required – however, it’s not our recommendation for users that primarily want an emergency outbound phone – that’s where the 9555 is better placed. Due to orbiting satellites, which do offer truly global coverage, we find that the Iridium network offers only average voice quality and particularly in hilly and forested terrain, connection drop outs are likely. We like the Iridium network predominantly for people that need to be contactable continuously for their telecommunications, as the Iridium devices have a compact magnetic external antenna.
