Satellite communication devices
Satellite communication devices keep you connected beyond the reach of cell towers, using global satellite networks instead of cellular coverage. This category is built for field crews, remote workers, expedition travelers, mariners and anyone who needs reliable contact, location sharing or asset tracking when they go off the grid.
What satellite communication devices do we carry?
Our selection spans several device types so you can match the hardware to how you work, including:
- Satellite phones for two-way voice and SMS, including the Iridium Extreme 9575 and Iridium 9555.
- Satellite messengers and communicators for two-way texting, SOS and GPS, including the Garmin inReach Messenger, inReach Mini 2, GPSMAP 66i and Montana 700i.
- Portable satellite hotspots for connecting a phone or laptop in the field, including the Iridium GO! exec.
- Asset trackers for monitoring equipment and vehicles, including the Globalstar SmartOne Solar and SmartOne C.
Brands in this category include Iridium, Garmin and Globalstar. If you don't see the model you need, contact us and we can help source it.
How do I choose the right satellite device?
Start with what you need to do off-grid. If you need real voice calls, look at a satellite phone. If your priority is staying in touch by text, sharing your location and triggering an emergency SOS, a satellite messenger or communicator is usually the better fit. If you need to get a group online, a portable satellite hotspot lets you pair a smartphone or laptop. To monitor equipment, trailers or vehicles in the field, an asset tracker reports location without a person carrying it.
Coverage and subscription requirements differ by network and device. Most satellite hardware in this category requires an activated airtime or service plan to operate. If you're unsure which device or plan suits your use case, contact us and we'll help you compare options.
Compatible networks
The devices in this collection operate on global satellite networks, including the Iridium and Globalstar networks. Network choice affects coverage area and the type of service available, so confirm coverage for your operating region before purchasing.
