Satellite phone vs. satellite device
A satellite phone is a portable radio transceiver that sends and receives voice and data signals via satellites. You can use a satellite phone to make calls send text messages and access the internet. For our purposes, we refer to a satellite device as a more robust option for remote workers. With a satellite device, you get the same two-way communication capabilities, plus you get detailed GPS location coordinates, gas detection, a panic button, man down and no motion detection, and real-time monitoring.
Who uses a satellite device?
Isolated workers, remote workforces, or lone workers all use satellite devices quite frequently. In the Oil & Gas industry or the Utility industry, it is common for these groups of employees to carry personal satellite devices when they work in the field. A threatened meter reader can avail of the panic button, a field worker with a twisted ankle can take advantage of GPS location services, a lineman may be saved by a no motion alarm after falling from a bucket truck, and a maintenance technician may be saved from a carbon monoxide exposure with gas detection functionality. There are endless uses for satellite devices when your organization employs people who work alone or in isolation.
Choose the right satellite device for your needs
Choosing the right device for the needs of your workforce can be overwhelming, especially if you are unfamiliar with the technology. That's why Telelink steps up as an unbiased advisor to help you find the best tech for your isolated workers and employees. Most satellite devices we have vetted, such as the Garmin Inreach are small enough to carry around as a personal device. We also have a suite of apps, panic buttons, and wearables to help keep your employees safe. Get in touch today to find the perfect fit for your organization.
