Devices

What types of satellite communication devices are available at OSAT?
Our Devices Collection includes satellite phones, GPS trackers, Wi-Fi hotspots, two-way radios, internet terminals, and emergency locator beacons. Each serves a unique role, from keeping in touch off-grid to enabling live tracking, internet access, or SOS signaling.

How do I choose the right device for my needs?
Start by considering your environment (land, sea, air), the level of connectivity required (voice, data, SOS, tracking), and how long you’ll be using it. For example: phones are best for voice calls, trackers offer location and messaging, hotspots enable internet access.

Are these devices suitable for both personal and professional use?
Absolutely. Our customers range from solo travellers and adventure seekers to humanitarian organizations, search & rescue teams, and remote field crews. We offer gear that’s built for both weekend use and mission-critical deployments.

What kind of network coverage do these devices rely on?
Different devices operate on different satellite networks: Iridium for global reach, Inmarsat for near-global, and Globalstar or Thuraya for regional service. OSAT ensures your device is matched to the right network based on where you’re going.

Do I need a subscription to use a satellite device?
In most cases, yes. Satellite phones, trackers, and hotspots require airtime or a service plan. We offer both prepaid and monthly plans with flexible terms, and some emergency beacons operate without ongoing fees.

Are these devices easy to use for beginners?

Absolutely. Most work like regular phones or trackers, and GTC provides setup support, guides, and 24/7 assistance if needed.

What should I consider before choosing a device?

Think about where you’ll be using it, whether you need voice or just tracking/data, and how often you'll use it. GTC’s team is happy to advise on the best fit.
