The Icom IC-SAT100 is the world’s first dedicated satellite push-to-talk (PTT) radio and is the only PTT radio offering real-time communications at the push of a button between groups of individuals, each of whom can be anywhere on the planet*. The IC-SAT100 uses the Iridium® satellite communication network which covers the whole earth including both poles. Using 66 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites it provides broader more reliable network coverage compared to Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) satellites. The IC-SAT100 can be used as a communication tool in remote and isolated areas where there is no mobile phone or landline network infrastructure thus ensuring business continuity and security for customers around the world.
* Depending on the country or region, carrying and/or use of the IC-SAT100 may be prohibited.
