Satellite Phone Rentals Suggestions

We have some tips for our Satellite Phone Rental customers. We receive many questions about which satellite phone is the best choice. The first thing to know is that we no longer rent the Globalstar satellite phone. This is due to the current status of the Globalstar constellation of satellites, which is currently operating in a degraded state.

This means that the only satellite phone rental available from Globalcom is one of the Iridium models. Of the three models available, the Iridium 9555 is the smallest and lightest. It is the only model currently in production. However, we have found that the Iridium 9505A has the best signal reception. Because of the large size of the Iridium 9500 satellite phone, and the weaker strength of the 9555, we recommend the 9505A to all of our satellite phone rental customers. It offers a reasonable size and the best performance of all the Iridium rentals.

If you need internet access, we would recommend a BGAN terminal.  It provides high speed internet and voice capabilities. The Iridium satellite phones also offer internet connectivity. However, the speed available is only about 9600bps. This is only about 1/5 of dial up landline speed! It is usable for sending small emails or small files at best. We can rent the Iridium data kit when you rent satellite phones, but we think most users will be unimpressed with the capability it provides.
