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
