Mobile Satellite Communications.
Whether it is for military, government, or commercial applications, secure mobile satellite communication devices such as satellite phones and satellite two way radios are essential for protecting sensitive data, keeping communications private, and enabling reliable connections across long distances. With the latest in satellite technology, organisations can establish secure connections with full end-to-end encryption, ensuring their data remains safe and secure.
Specialising in satellite communication technologies Radiocoms portfolio of products are designed for use in a range of missions, from rescue operations requiring critical communication to extreme expeditions needing an uninterrupted connection back to base. Our secure, encryption-protected products include satellite two-way radios and satellite phones. Whatever your needs may be, we have you covered.
What are satellite phones and satellite two way radios?
- Satellite phones and satellite two way radios are communication devices that connect directly to orbiting satellite networks rather than terrestrial mobile or radio infrastructure.
- They are used to provide voice, data, or push-to-talk communication in locations where cellular coverage or conventional radio systems are unavailable or unreliable.
Let’s start a conversation.
Scope and function.
Satellite communication devices enable point-to-point or group communication across regional or global distances. Unlike land-based systems, connectivity is maintained via satellite constellations, allowing operation in remote, maritime, airborne, or disaster-affected environments.
- These devices are commonly used where:
- Infrastructure is absent, damaged, or intentionally avoided
- Coverage continuity is required across wide geographic areas
- Communications must remain available during emergencies or system failures
Security and data protection.
- Security in satellite phones and satellite two way radios is achieved through a combination of network-level and device-level controls. Depending on the platform and network used, this may include:
- Encrypted air interfaces between the device and satellite
- Authentication of devices on the satellite network
- Secure routing through controlled ground stations
- Optional end-to-end encryption implemented at the application or device layer
- The specific encryption standards and security guarantees depend on the satellite network, device model, and configuration.
Use cases for satellite comms.
- Satellite phones and satellite PTT radios are used across sectors where reliable long-range communication is operationally critical, including:
- Emergency response and search and rescue
- Remote industrial operations
- Maritime and offshore environments
- Government and public sector field operations
- Scientific, exploration, and expedition activities
- They are typically selected when coverage predictability and independence from local infrastructure are higher priorities than bandwidth or consumer-grade features.
Product selection criteria.
- When selecting a satellite phone or satellite two way radio, key technical and operational factors include:
- Voice versus push-to-talk communication requirements
- Battery life and standby performance
- Environmental ratings and physical durability
- Integration with existing radio or communication systems
- Security features supported by the device and network
- Device choice is typically driven by mission profile, operating region, and interoperability requirements rather than brand or form factor.
