| Planning on single-handing a Columbia
34 up the coast? Marlin fishing in the Florida Keys? Ferrying friends
to that favorite island resort? Just about anywhere in this world
you take your vessel, wouldn’t it be great to know you can pick up
the GSP-1600 Portable Tri-Mode Satellite Phone
and get in touch with friends or business associates hundreds or thousands
of miles away, or get up to the minute weather updates? Unlike ship-to-shore
radio, you won’t have to worry about eavesdroppers on your personal
conversations. Plus you’ll enjoy greater clarity, convenience, and
lower cost than ship-to-shore. |

Satellite phones are a convenient, high quality, secure
and cost-effective solution to help you communicate by voice and data
up to 200 miles offshore. Think of your present communication system,
then think of the possibilities with a more cost-effective satellite communication
solution.
- Phone your family or friends to alert them to a change
in plans. Contact a physician or other professional to talk you through
an emergency situation.
- Stay in touch when you’re out at sea. Surf the Internet†
by simply connecting a QUALCOMM Globalstar phone to a computer or PDA.
Access the web for an update on your stocks or information on leisure
activities at your next port of call.
- Send a storm alert when a sudden squall appears. With
the Globalstar™ Communications System you’ll always be informed immediately
of shifts in the weather, technical problems or changes in plans. Use
the satellite phone’s position location*, digital fax† or data capabilities†.
- Communicate no matter where you are. If you get off
onto a smaller boat or go ashore, take the portable satellite phone
with you.
- Keep your crew happy knowing they can stay in touch
with family and friends.
Anywhere within range of a Globalstar Gateway, you'll
have access to coastal and inland communications, because QUALCOMM portable
satellite phones work as cellular phones where cellular coverage is available
and as satellite phones where it isn't.
Portable Satellite Phone Usage
The GSP-1600 Portable Tri-Mode Satellite phone is ideal
for boat operators who want the convenience of complete portability in
addition to a cabin phone. Although it is designed to operate only on-deck
with a full-sky-view rather than from an enclosed cabin, the GSP-1600
requires no installation, and also can be conveniently taken ashore or
to another vessel. Some Globalstar distributors also sell a portable maritime
kit which will allows the portable phone to be installed on a bulkhead
or panel that is connected to an RAU. This way, the satellite phone can
be used in the cabin or cockpit without sacrificing clarity or portability.
