Vizada... Connectivity Connections (SATCOM)


[SatNews] The Company is now bringing a lower cost connectivity solution to the communications environs...

Vizada is now offering IsatPhone Link, a new low-cost, land-based global satellite phone service from Inmarsat providing voice connectivity, circuit-switched data and messaging communications. In addition to voice service, IsatPhone Link offers users a range of data capabilities, including SMS, short message emailing and GPS look-up-and-send, while delivering data rates up to 20 kbps when using a compression software tool, such as Vizada’s SkyFile® Mail.

IsatPhone Link service is ideal for moral and welfare programs and can be used as a remote call center, serving as a village phone for rural communities, or as a temporary fixed phone for welfare calling. It can also be used for providing remote site offices with voice connectivity or serve as back up to primary communications across a range of market sectors. IstaPhone Link is an ideal replacement for legacy Inmarsat services such as Mini-M and LandPhone, and complements Inmarsat’s IsatPhone Pro handset, introduced in 2010. Features include...
  • Clear voice service (2.4 kbps)
  • Accessible globally
  • Ideal for integrating into PABX for multiple use
  • Easy to transport, set up and use
  • Ruggedized for outdoor use
  • Messaging: text-to-text, text-to-email, web message to IsatPhone Link
  • Circuit-switched data (up to 20kbps) with SkyFile® Mail compression
  • Competitively priced
  • Accessing IsatPhone Link
The service is accessed using a choice of two highly robust terminals purpose-built by Beam Communications and used with an external antenna. The Terra 400 is a low-cost entry terminal offering simple voice connectivity, while Beam’s Terra 800 provides an integrated handset, SMS capability and an additional SIM slot for multiple users. The terminals are compact, easy to transport and do not require technical expertise to set up.
