sat phones A sat phone is a piece of communication equipment that can be used from virtually any point on the globe. Sat phones can be thought of as cell phones with a worldwide network. They get their name because of the fact that they use satellites orbiting the earth to transmit signals from one point to another. Although satellite phones have existed for many years now, they have seen predominant usage amongst governments and militaries. (Many countries require satellite phone users to get permission from the respective government before use) Over the last couple of years, however, satellite phones are being marketed for personal and business use. The satellite communications industry has great potential to become more prevalent over the next several years and has the ability to somewhat derail the ever-increasing popularity of the cellular phone industry. There are a number of competing mobile satellite services who expect to be able to "blanket" the globe with satellite coverage via the implementation of 1,000 (+) satellites by the end of 2004. These competing mobile satellite companies include: Inmarsat Iridium Globalstar Odyssey Teledesic ICO Thuyra ACes Agrani East By the year 2006, the Global Mobile Personal Communication Service (GMPCS) predicts that the mobile communications market will reach over $47 billion. Many communications services hope to tap into this market, however, it is the companies who got in on the ground floor who will reap the maximum benefits of this evolution in communication technologies. ============================================================================ > > > CLICK HERE to read about the HISTORY OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS ============================================================================
