Rock solid communication

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

By working in conjunction with an app, the ruggedised SATcase can transform the common smartphone into a satellite phone.

As extraction sites and quarries are often located in areas where mobile phone service is poor or unavailable, the device enables miners to stay in communication with the rest of the world via satellite.

The ability to keep lines of communication open means the SATcase is also a useful tool for geologists and seismic workers. By having access to their own smartphone, personnel can use the device with certified company apps that are enabled through the satellite system. Real-time feedback on bore sample collection and seismic testing is possible even out of range of normal GSM/mobile communications.
