Inmarsat today launched its new global handheld satellite television telephone, the IsatPhone Pro. Retailing for as little as US$500, the phone will be a 'game changer' in this specialist market.

The new service, Inmarsat's first global handheld, provides an unmatched specification at one of the most competitive price point in the market. Extensive testing has shown that IsatPhone Pro has the market's longest battery life and the most robust handset. These and other market-leading services and functions are now accessible at a suggested retail price of US$699, with promotional prices expected to be around US$500-600.

Comments Andrew Sukawaty, Chairman and CEO of Inmarsat:

'With the advertising incentives at launch, our US$500-600 IsatPhone Pro is really a 'game changer'. This telephone gives us price and performance leadership for the remote environment market.

'We have today entered the handheld satellite telephone marketplace with a global handset. It targets customers served by Inmarsat for decades, both at sea and in the most remote parts of the global landmass. It is supported by our existing satellite television network and it uses verified technology customized for use in these environments.

'The IsatPhone Pro is tailor-made for tough use. Rugged, splash and dust proof, and with long battery life, it offers global service from day one. This may be the very first satellite phone to be built for the Inmarsat network from the ground-up, responding to customer needs, for use in harsh environments.

'Today we've delivered a robust, inexpensive, professional handset for global users. IsatPhone Pro joins our award-winning portfolio of data and voice terminals. It gives us a full range of providers for remote atmosphere communications use.'

IsatPhone Pro offers up to 8 hours talk time and up to 100 hours on standby. The handset has secured an IP54 rating and is dirt, water and shock resistant. It is also capable of operating from -20 degrees C to +55 degrees C, which is the widest temperature range of any satellite phone.

Targeted primarily at professional users in the federal government, media, aid, oil and gas, mining and construction sectors, IsatPhone Professional offers high-quality satellite telephony, text and email messaging. Location data can also be viewed and sent in a text message.

The unique style of IsatPhone Pro, such as a fully-manoeuvrable antenna, allows the handset to be placed on its side for easy hands-free use via Bluetooth. IsatPhone Pro has an intuitive GSM-style interface with a high-visibility colour screen, and a larger keypad for simple dialling in gloves.

'IsatPhone Professional will undoubtedly shake-up the global handheld market,' said Helen Stalker, Commercial Director for Global Satellite Phone Services at Inmarsat. 'It's the best general proposition within the market. It meets all the fundamental user requirements and Inmarsat provides the best channel support in the industry. We've worked using the best developers, manufacturers and logistics providers to bring IsatPhone Pro to market. And through our 13 distribution partners worldwide, the levels of customer support and assistance are unrivalled'.
