SUGGESTIONS Sat Phone Integration

[MisterQ]

I am looking at a deployment of a very remote PBX (in a west African Country). The landline infrastructure in that country is minimal, but they do have an extensive cellular network, but even that doesn't have coverage to all areas.

I seem to recall that there are SIP to GSM or similar gateways that will allow relatively seamless integration into cell networks (Assuming that GSM == 3G == 4G for all intents and purposes), but we will also have a Sat Phone Requirement.

ANy thoughts on integrating Sat Phones as extensions on a PBX?

So,

The GSM devices you are think of might be the goip devices -- http://www.dbltek.com/products/goip-1.html,
but there are many commercial quality versions on the market as well like. Check out Hypermedia at - http://www.hyperms.com/products.html

On the SAT side I like the small BGAN devices -- Try Tracstar - http://www.cobham.com/about-cobham/...roducts-and-services/ultra-portable-bgan.aspx

Good luck --
