There are numerous settings where having a robust communication device is enormously valuable, many of which surround remote settings where things like cell phones won’t be a viable way of communicating. One great example of people who need satellite communications and related forms of technology: Backcountry skiers, snowboarders and other winter athletes.
At International Satellite Services, we proudly offer the very best satellite push-to-talk solutions and related forms of satellite communications, including the MSATe PTT radio and several other quality products. What are some of the key qualities of these products that are so valuable to backcountry winter athletes, and which should you be prioritizing if you’re purchasing satellite communications devices for your needs? This two-part blog will go over everything you need to know.
Range
One of the single areas where satellite PTT products hold a clear advantage over other forms of communications is their range. While cell phones rely on distant cell phone towers in order to transmit, satellite communications devices use satellites that are far closer and thus can reach much farther without the need for a relay station. This means you won’t have any issues with connectivity at all times.
Satellite PTT products, in particular, have virtually unlimited range when set up on quality networks. Our MSATe clients, for instance, get coverage all around the country and even beyond, as far away as Alaska. As long as you’re within North America’s footprint and have a clear line of sight to the sky, you’ll be able to communicate with your friends in any setting.
Strong Signal Quality
Another major priority when it comes to satellite communication devices is the quality of their signal. You don’t want to be in a situation where you’re trying to make a call or send a message but are getting poor service as a result, and with satellite PTT products, that won’t be an issue.
Our MSATe products have been tested and proven to be able to withstand all sorts of environments, and they’ll provide you with the quality signal you need. This is especially important in situations where your life could depend on reliable satellite communications devices – whether that’s from maintaining an emergency line of communication or simply wanting to make sure you can stay connected during a long day of skiing.
Ergonomic and Easy to Use
As far as designs go, satellite PTT products are very simple and easy to use. You won’t have much of a learning curve at all when it comes to picking up our MSATe products, or any other form of satellite communication device for that matter. They’re also fairly lightweight so you can take them with you on long treks without feeling weighed down.
