    Satellite Phone: Muhammad Ahkam Khan (09-6394)

    Uploaded by

    Satellite phones connect to orbiting satellites rather than terrestrial cell sites, providing mobile phone functionality like voice calls, texting, and low-bandwidth internet access globally. They operate via two main networks: geosynchronous satellites that remain fixed but have limited bandwidth, and low Earth orbit constellations using many satellites that pass by quickly but together provide continuous coverage. While satellite phones offer communication anywhere, they are expensive to purchase and use, large in size, and not secure or private.

    Communication
    Communication is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. It is the meaningful exchange of information between two or a group of person.

    Satellite Phone
    A satellite telephone, satellite phone, or sat phone is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial cell sites. They provide similar functionality to terrestrial mobile telephones; voice, short messaging service and low-bandwidth internet access are supported through most systems.

    Sat Phone Networks


    Geosynchronous Low Earth Orbit

    GEO Network
    Remains fixed at all times. Global Coverage maintained by 3-4 satellites. Available bandwidth is quite large. Very heavy and expensive to build. Connection breaks quite quickly. ACeS, Inmarsat, Thuraya, MSAT/SkyTerra, Terrestar and ICO

    LEO Network
    Worldwide wireless coverage. Satellites orbit in high speed. Large number of Satellites used to cover the earth. Usable pass of satellite last 4-15 min on average. Global Star (48 satellites) and Iridium (66 satellites)

    LEO Global Network

    Advantages
    Global Coverage No severed connections Used for Disaster Scenarios

    Disadvantages
    Expensive phones ($200-$Thousands) Costly calls Large Size Work only in open Nonsecure and Traceable
