Satellite Phone Antennas are vital for the functions of a satellite phone. These communication devices are notorious for having extremely poor signal indoors, so auxiliary antennas are necessary. One needs to remember that satellite phones get their signals from outside the hemisphere of the earth. This is a source farther than terrestrial cellular sites/towers which are utilized by regular cellular phones.
The older models of satellite phones used to have external Satellite Phone Antennas. The more recent models of satellite phone units today have strong internal antennas, and are more compact and light weight than their predecessors. To fully utilize satellite phones, it’s best to use them outdoors, where the antenna could better receive and transmit signals to and from the satellites.
Satellite Phone Antennas should be secured fast onto the satellite phone unit for it to function well. External antennas are especially needed when you’re making the call from a moving vehicle. During a voice call, you should make sure that your antenna is at least 80% exposed to the sky for better reception. For units whose antennas may be rotated, the correct deployment of satellite phone antennas is vertical, towards the sky, and away from trees and tall buildings. Try to avoid using your satellite phone near other radar devices which may interfere with its frequency.
Recent satellite phones with strong internal antennas still come with car kits that include attachable external antennas. These external antennas are used just in case the signal in the area is weak.
