Receiving Satellite Signals

Most pagers receive messages transmitted from towers on the ground. The 9501 pager receives messages transmitted directly from the satellite. This can be more difficult, in some instances, due to the distance the signal must travel from space. With most satellite-based communication, such as satellite TV or the Global Positioning System (GPS), a satellite dish or hand-held unit must be positioned outside of buildings to receive information. However, with Motorola’s Satellite Series 9501 Pager, you can now receive messages inside buildings.
