ICOM IC-SAT100 PTT

Product Description

The ICOM IC SAT100 PTT Satellite Radio  provides a true Land Mobile Radio experience with an IP67-rated durable housing, large front-ported speaker for loud audio, a top mounted on/off volume selector, talkgroup selector for “no-look” operation, and a field replaceable antenna. Icom offers a large portfolio of Land Mobile Radio accessories for the radio to enhance the customers communication requirements.

The IC-SAT100 operates exclusively on Iridium Push-To-Talk services, and is compatible with the full portfolio of Iridium and Iridium Partner PTT products for seamless, global push-to-talk capabilities. Icom also offers the VE-PG4, a RoIP router to interconnect and manage latency of other radio technologies into a seamless communication.

The Icom IC-Sat 100 PTT utilizes the unmatched Iridium satellite network that provides 100% global coverage. This is different than a satellite phone in that users can immediately start talking to all radios in the same talkgroup with just a push of a button. This is ideal for many industries including desert race and construction.

One-to-Many Communications: Unlike satellite phones, IC-SAT100 users can immediately start talking to all the radios in the same talk group, with just a push of the transmit (PTT) button

Wide Area Global Communications: The Iridium® satellite network covers the entire earth, including both poles, and can provide wide-area global communications anywhere on the planet*.

* Depending on the country or region, carrying and/or use of the IC-SAT100 may be prohibited.

Real-Time, Low-Latency Communication
Using 66 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Iridium® satellites, the IC-SAT100 provides low-latency communication, and broader, more reliable network coverage, compared to Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) satellites.

Built-in Emergency Key
The orange key on the top panel can be used for emergency situations. You can transmit an emergency call to pre programmed users by holding down the key.

Waterproof, Dust-tight and Durable Body
The IC-SAT100 provides IP67 waterproofing (1 m depth of water for 30 minutes) and dust-tight protection, making it ideal for use in harsh outdoor environments. The radio also meets MIL-STD 810G specifications. The operating temperature range is from –30°C to +60°C (–22 °F to 140 °F).

1500 mW Powerful Audio
1500 mW audio delivered from the internal speaker provides loud and clear communication, even in noisy environments.

Long-Lasting Battery Life
The supplied BP-300 Li-ion battery pack provides 14.5 hours of operation. Long-Lasting Battery Life

What is SATELLITE PTT?
SATELLITE PTT (Push-To-Talk) is a two-way radio system that uses the Iridium satellite network. It can be used as a communication tool in remote, isolated areas where there are no mobile phones or landline network infrastructure. Even if terrestrial network infrastructure is rendered unusable by human or natural disasters, SATELLITE PTT can provide a stable back-up, independent from other networks.

What about communication fees?
Communication fees are typically charged at a flat rate through a monthly plan, and there are no additional call charges.* Communication fees differ, depending on the coverage area and the number of the IC-SAT100.

How do I assign a coverage area?
The coverage area can be split into different coverage regions, using circles, squares, and rectangles. For example, you can assign coverage areas to Tokyo, New York and London.

Can I change my Talkgroup and/or the region within a coverage area?
Yes, you can flexibly change these settings*
* Depending on the country or area, a flat charge plan may not apply, or the service may not be available

Can I use the IC-SAT100 in any location?
The IC-SAT100 can be used in open spaces, like the rooftop of a building. Receiving and transmitting may fail, depending on the satellite position or any obstacles between the radio and satellites. Your body can also be an obstacle. Hook the radio upright on your shoulder rather than on your waist.

Can the IC-SAT100 make phone calls?
No, the IC-SAT100 is PTT (Push-To-Talk) use only. Using the optional VE-PG4* RoIP gateway, the IC-SAT100 will be able to communicate with other networks (planned feature).
* The optional OPC-2412 connection cable is required to connect to the VE-PG4.
