Comms-on-the-move
now
available
for
Inmarsat’s
IsatPhone 2
30 April 2015
Inmarsat
announced
the launch
of its first
vehicular
antenna for
the
IsatPhone 2.
Designed by
AeroAntenna
Technologies,
the new
external,
vehicle-mounted,
active
antenna
enables
IsatPhone 2
users to
enjoy high
quality,
uninterrupted
voice
connectivity
while
on-the-move.
Vehicular
antennas
provide
‘line-of-sight’
to a
satellite
while a user
is
travelling
in a
vehicle,
enabling
them
maintain
connectivity
and continue
using their
satellite
phone. The
new antenna
kit will be
particularly
beneficial
for
organisations
with teams
travelling
in remote
locations,
for whom
staying in
contact
while on the
move is
essential to
their work
and their
safety.
It is
anticipated
that the new
vehicular
antenna kit
will be of
major
benefit to
NGOs with
teams
scattered
across some
of the most
remote
regions in
the world,
as well as
for oil and
gas, mining,
utilities,
construction
and fleet
transportation
organisations
with
personnel
in-the-field.
The omni-directional
antenna
features a
sleek design
and has an
ultraflex
cable for
easy
installation,
a
suction-mount
clip for
hands-free
communication,
and a dual
USB charger
that allows
the antenna
to be in use
while also
charging the
IsatPhone 2.
“We have
seen a very
positive
response to
the enhanced
capabilities
of the
IsatPhone 2
since it was
released
last year,”
said Tim
Johnson,
Vice
President,
Enterprise
Channel &
Portfolio
Development,
Inmarsat.
“The
vehicular
antenna
represents a
powerful
accessory
for the
IsatPhone 2
that will
even further
enhance the
phone’s
capabilities
and add
significant
value for
our
customers.”
