This is a new communication solution that provides people in underground and other closed facilities the ability to communicate over Iridium satellite phones. Providing coverage extension for these devices, SuricatePRO extends telephony throughout the facility without loss of signal quality. The product is the perfect solution for using Iridium devices without sky view. Satphone users in mines, secure military installations, underground facilities and remote locations without sky view can quickly establish a SuricatePRO communication link that enables seamless communication with the Iridium satellite constellation.
Gilat Satcom’s Mobile Satellite Director, Ami Schneider, said, “With SuricatePRO, we deliver telephone communication to formerly impossible-to-reach locations and secure facilities. Now, after only a very simple installation of small, lightweight equipment, Iridium subscribers can gain reliable access to the Iridium network.”
SuricatePRO takes advantage of Foxcom’s RF-over-fiber technology. To enjoy the benefits of SuricatePRO, customers need only to install outdoor and indoor units connected via fiber (up to3 km). Immediately, Iridium satphone users in the room can access the Iridium constellation as if they had clear sky view. The SuricatePRO solution is available immediately.
