Satellite Phones & Satellite Communications

Mobile Systems supplies satellite phones and satellite communication devices from Mount Maunganui, with pricing from $1,976 for a satellite phone through to advanced Starlink and Iridium systems. Satellite communications offer a number of advantages over other types of communication systems, such as: global coverage, reliability, security and mobility. This makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, including broadband internet access, satellite phone service and data communications.

Emergency locator beacons (ELBs)

ELBs are used to alert search and rescue (SAR) teams that you are in need of assistance. They are typically used in remote areas where there is no cell phone coverage or other means of communication. ELBs can be activated manually or automatically, depending on the type of beacon.

There are two main types of ELBs: emergency position-indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs) and personal locator beacons (PLBs). EPIRBs are used by aircraft and maritime vessels, while PLBs are used by individuals on foot.

Starlink satellite applications include: broadband internet access, mobile phone service and data communications.
