Mobile Data Solutions


 

At Satellite Phones Direct, we understand that selecting a satellite phone and service can be a complicated process and we're here to help! Below, you will find a comparison between the most popular mobile data services to help you make an informed decision about which solution is right for your communication needs. All mobile data solutions have voice calling capability (although BGAN terminals require an optional handset). However, only the BGAN terminals provide high-speed data transfer (up to 492 kbps - roughly the same speed as low-grade DSL). Other devices have a peak data transfer rate of about one fifth (1/5) of dial-up 56k. More detailed information on each of the devices and their service can be found by clicking on them. Should you have any further questions, e-mail us or give us a call.
