If spotty cell coverage has you furious and you’re thinking of getting a satellite phone, you’ll soon have one more option. Inmarsat, a satellite communications company based in London, announced today that it has made the first call on its network using the new IsatPhone Pro handset. The phone was built with partner Sasken Communications Technologies.
With the successful first call test completed, the company is on track to launch the phone and service in June, 2010. “The first call is a significant milestone, and we’re very pleased with the voice quality in initial tests,” said Helen Stalker, commercial director of global satellite phone services.
The company is targeting government, media, aid, oil and gas, mining, and construction professionals. For more info, check out the Inmarsat site.
