Announcement posted by TC Communications Pty Ltd 23 Dec 2010

...the perfect last minute Christmas gift!

Having just received the official go-ahad from the Australian authorities for the the commercial service introduction of its GSPS service, Inmarsat announced today that, effective immediately, the IsatPhone Pro is available for sale in Australia. TC Communications, Inmarsat's only Gold Accredited Service Provider in Australia, has stock in hand and is available to help you with that last minute Christmas gift.

As the summer holidays commence and we all run to the beaches, the outback and the deep blue sea to try and 'get away from it all' we are usually - eventually - hit by the realisation that in actual fact, it is very hard to live without some form of communications lifeline. The IsatPhone Pro is that perfect lifeline. Rugged, inexpensive and offering global coverage, this handy phone can be used to check on the family, the business, the cat...and then folded up and put away until you next need to make a call. You can control exactly how in touch you wish to be.

Call costs are cheaper than most global roaming charges and you can rest assured that as this phone was purpose built for the Inmarsat satellite network you will not experience the drop-outs which have become synonymous with other satellite phones over the past few years. The IsatPhone Pro has been optimised to deliver the best performance over the world’s most advanced mobile satellite network, the Inmarsat network. It will be available on a global basis over the three Inmarsat-4 satellites, which have an operational lifetime into the 2020s. Inmarsat has been at the forefront of mobile satellite services for over 31 years, they are recognised leaders in our field and continue to introduce new technologies that redefine the standard for the industry.

TC Communications is Australia's leading satellite communication specialist and has been the provider of choice across the entire spectrum of satellite communications users - from the ADF and Coastwatch through to the media, mining companies, sailors and caravan-toting Grey Nomads.
