Wow, a new mobile phone that works anywhere

Global Satellite Broadband ISP Tariam has released more information on its new world beating, small satellite phone 'IsatPhone Pro' and is now taking reservations ahead of the first handset deliveries expected in June 2010.

IsatPhone Pro is the first global satellite phone that's truly pocket sized and that has similar functionality to modern GSM cellular phones with features like a colour screen and USB connectivity.

Tariam Managing Director, Andrew Walwyn said

"IsatPhone Pro is a very important and exciting product for a number of reasons. From our perspective, it's the first time we've had a product that will compete on equal terms with the regular mobile phone market.

"Of course IsatPhone Pro will be competitive on the price of hardware and calls for international travellers and remote workers. However, its key difference is it will work anywhere, even in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or the depths of the Amazon Rainforest.

"The product itself really is a marvel. It brings a number of features we take for granted on GSM mobiles to the satellite phone market for the first time. In terms of things like size, battery life and usability it's a huge step forward".

Key IsatPhone Pro features include:-

- Bluetooth support, allowing the phone to be connected to the latest in car systems and headsets

- SMS text and the ability to 'text' your location in the event an emergency

- A robust but light handset, splash and shock resistant and able to work in temperatures from -20°C to +55°C

- Industry leading battery life with eight hours talk time and up to one hundred hours standby, over three times its nearest competitor

- Standard network features like voice-mail, caller ID, conferencing, call waiting

- Connection to tried and tested geostationary satellites giving less dropped calls than other satellite phones

IsatPhone Pro will be available with a complimentary range of rugged accessories and car, boat and aircraft docking kits.

Tariam is taking reservations now for the first handset deliveries which are due in the middle of June 2010.
