LandPhone
 globalCom and Inmarsat are pleased to announce the launch of Inmarsat's new fixed satellite phone service - the LandPhone! LandPhone is a low-cost, easy to use fixed telephony solution for use in remote locations where local networks are unreliable or non-existent.
The LandPhone service is accessed by connecting a standard telephone to a fixed satellite terminal. With a compact and robust design, it can be easily transported to remote locations for set up indoors or in outdoor spaces.
It is ideal for use in a number of situations:
- Remote office phone – on plantations, construction and mining sites
- Village phone – for resident calling, meeting Universal Service Obligations where alternative technologies are not economically viable
- Temporary fixed phone – social and welfare calling for displaced communities or aid and government workers in disaster situations, emergency relief and war zones
- Payphone – for migrant workers seeking low rates to call home
LandPhone can be used within Asia, Africa, and the Middle East using Inmarsat's latest generation I-4 satellite over the Indian Ocean Region.
Inmarsat LandPhone:
- Competitively priced
- Easy to transport, set-up and use
- Robust solution for outdoors
- Ideal for multi-user communities
