Off The Shelf Devices
Sat Phones
- very Pricey, typically provider locked, and only provides one phone and usually no text/data
- Will work, and very portable, but not the most cost effective solution for groups etc (also data transfer obiously)
Sat Internet Units
- Often use a full on Satellite Dish or a large box with a flat antenna of sorts
- This comes with full internet, and thus switching and multi use capability
- Better for semi-permanent use cases (Vehicles, Base Camps, Construction Sites, etc)
- These also tend to cost ~5,000 USD, so are a definet investment, yet also more capable/cost effective than sat phones for large groups/operations
- If Starlink works in the future, this will be the best option
- As of now read This website and transcribe it if need be
Best Semi-Portable Unit
Best Permanent Installation Unit
If you are somehow rich
