Research Summary
A satellite telephone, also known as a satphone, is a mobile communication device that enables users to make and receive calls via satellite networks rather than terrestrial cellular networks. Satellite telephones are designed to provide connectivity in remote, isolated, or disaster-stricken areas where traditional cellular coverage is unavailable or unreliable. These devices utilize satellites in geostationary or low Earth orbit to establish communication links, allowing users to make voice calls, send text messages, and access basic data services from virtually anywhere on the planet. Satellite telephones are commonly used by individuals and organizations in industries such as maritime, aviation, forestry, emergency response, exploration, and military operations, providing a lifeline for communication in remote or critical situations.
