Recently, we summarized Digital Trends' findings of the best satellite phones. Iridium is a clear leader in the industry and they even cited the Iridium 9575 as "best in class." The additional features of the Iridium Extreme 9575 PTT (Push-to-Talk) gained this phone the stamp of approval as "best for teams." With its completely worldwide service, integrated loudspeaker, and adjustable push-to-talk coverage, it's clear why this is the go-to choice for group communication. Having the best satellite phone is not complete without the proper accessories. One of the most important additions you'll need to best utilize your phone indoors is a docking station.
Applied Satellite Engineering (ASE), a leader in the satellite communications industry, has created the 9575 PTT Docking Station. This necessary accessory provides ease-of-use for your satellite phone both indoors and outdoors. When coupled with the most trusted global satellite network of Iridium, the remote phone coverage for your team is unmatched.
The Indoor Advantage of the ASE Docking Station for Iridium Extreme PTT 9575
The ASE Docking Station gives you peace of mind by converting the Iridium Extreme PTT 9575 to an indoor terminal. Though the satphone can still be used while mobile, a docking station is a necessary solution for using the phone inside. With the addition of an ASE handset, its satellite capabilities will continue. Connecting the docking station to a standard analog phone set, your company's PABX system or a wireless phone are other options.
Another important aspect when choosing a docking station for your satellite phone is that it enhances the features of your particular satphone. In the case of the Iridium Extreme PTT 9575, teams will need to easily access the push-to-talk button in order to activate one-button radio messaging. Additionally, when it is docked, reliability needs to be maintained with a continuous connection to Iridium's satellite network.
The ASE Docking Station provides an external antenna that points directly to the sky. This creates seamless, uninterrupted coverage for the user even when the phone is docked. This feature is especially important when more than one PTT Handset is connecting to the network at a time.
Iridium's global satellite service paired with ASE's docking station really does ensure worldwide communication. Even in the most remote areas, the robust coverage you expect from Iridium will continue everywhere...and anywhere.
