A satellite phone modem is a satellite phone component which comes in very handy when you’re stuck in a place with zero terrestrial internet access. Most business men are asked to cross the globe and attend to businesses which take place in remote spots of the globe. Traveling to a spot in the middle of nowhere without any means of communication is far from tempting, which is why most business people opt for the most high end satellite phone there is. The newest, snazziest satellite phone units sport a satellite phone modem each which allows the subscriber to surf the internet, chat with important contacts and family, and check his/her email even if s/he’s in the middle of the jungle.
The bandwidth of a satellite phone modem varies depending on the network service provider. For example, Iridium Network Satellites can give subscribers up to 2400 bit/s while Globestar offers internet access as fast as 9600 bit/s. To use this service, satellite phones are usually hooked onto laptops and other computers via RS-232 interface or USB.
Browsing the internet using a satellite phone modem may be troublesome because of the speed limit. Web pages today have too many flash features which may be difficult to download at that speed. Internet access via satellite phone connection, however, may be enough for quick emails and downloading text files. Before utilizing this satellite phone feature, you should check if internet access via satellite phones is allowed by the government. In certain countries like Brunei, the use of satellite phones is banned altogether.
