Satellite PTT is a two-way radio system based on the Iridium® satellite network. It can be used for communications in remote, isolated areas with no mobile phone coverage or terrestrial mobile infrastructure. Even if terrestrial network infrastructure has been knocked out by a natural disaster or human factors, the satellite PTT radio is ready to work as a backup communication link, independent of all other systems.

One-to-many communication
Unlike a satellite phone, IC-SAT100 users can instantly talk to every station in their talk group just by pressing the PTT button.
Global communications
The Iridium® satellite network covers the entire surface of the Earth, including both poles, and works as a global communication system anywhere on the planet.
Carrying and/or using the IC-SAT100 may be prohibited in some countries or regions.
Real-time communication with minimal latency
Using 66 Iridium® satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), the IC-SAT100 provides lower latency and wider coverage than satellites in geostationary orbit (GEO).
Built-in emergency button
The orange button on the top panel is for emergencies. A single press sends an emergency call to predefined users.
Rugged waterproof construction
The IC-SAT100 is waterproof to IP67 (1 m depth for up to 30 minutes) and dust-tight, ideal for the harshest weather. The transceiver also meets MIL-STD-810G specifications.
Operating temperature range: –30°C to +60°C.
Powerful 1500 mW audio
The built-in speaker delivers up to 1500 mW of audio, so you can always hear the other party, even in noisy environments.
Long battery life
The supplied BP-300 battery pack provides up to 14.5 hours of operation.
Approximate. Operating time calculated with Tx : Rx : Standby = 5 : 5 : 90.
