Satellite internet and off-grid communication for camping, campervans, 4x4 touring and overlanding — helping you stay online, send messages and keep in touch when your route takes you beyond reliable mobile coverage.
Explore camping connectivity ↓Camping and overlanding are often about getting away from busy places, but that can also mean leaving reliable mobile reception behind. Remote campsites, mountain roads, rural routes and isolated stopovers can all leave conventional connectivity limited or unavailable.
Satellite technology gives you another option. Portable satellite internet can bring Wi-Fi to a remote camp, while satellite communicators and hotspots can provide messaging, location sharing, voice calling and essential communications while travelling through areas with little or no mobile coverage.
Bring satellite internet to remote campsites, campervans and temporary basecamps.
Message friends and family or share your position when mobile coverage disappears.
Keep another communications option available when your journey takes you through isolated areas.
From broadband-style internet at camp to lightweight satellite messaging and global voice connectivity, these options cover different ways to stay connected while travelling away from conventional networks.
Portable satellite internet with built-in Wi-Fi, designed for travellers who want proper internet connectivity at camp without relying on local mobile networks.
Best for: campervans, overlanding vehicles, remote camps and trips where browsing, streaming, work or everyday internet access matters.
Two-way satellite messaging, check-ins, location sharing, weather information and monitored SOS in a compact device that can travel with you away from the vehicle or campsite.
Best for: campers and overlanders who want an easy way to stay in touch and remain reachable throughout remote journeys.
A portable satellite hotspot for essential communications including voice calls, messaging, email, weather information and light data over the global Iridium network.
Best for: longer overland journeys and remote travel where dependable global voice and essential data provide a useful communications backup.
A weekend at a remote campsite and a multi-week overland journey can need very different equipment. Tell us where you’re going, how long you’ll be away and what you need to stay connected for, and we’ll help you narrow down the options.
The right setup depends on whether you need full internet access at camp, simple satellite messaging, or a dependable communications backup for a longer remote journey.
Yes. Portable satellite internet systems such as Starlink Mini can provide Wi-Fi in remote locations where suitable satellite coverage and a clear view of the sky are available. This makes satellite internet useful for remote campsites, campervans and overlanding setups where mobile data is limited.
Starlink Mini is designed as a smaller and more portable satellite internet terminal and includes built-in Wi-Fi. It can be particularly useful when you want broadband-style connectivity at a campsite, vehicle or temporary basecamp rather than simply sending satellite messages.
The two products serve different purposes. Starlink is designed to provide internet connectivity from a set-up location, while a compact satellite communicator such as ZOLEO can travel with you when you leave the vehicle or campsite. Some travellers therefore use different devices for camp connectivity and personal communication.
That depends on how much communication you need. ZOLEO is suited to two-way messaging, check-ins, location sharing and SOS. Travellers needing voice, email and light data from remote locations may prefer a portable satellite hotspot such as the Iridium GO! exec.
Yes. GTC offers satellite equipment rentals for short-term trips, including Starlink Mini and Iridium GO! exec. Renting can be a practical option when you only need remote connectivity for a specific holiday, expedition or overland journey.
