Re: Satellite phone

[Samuel Liles <sliles () PURDUE EDU>]

Recently my undergraduates did a prototype design of a slightly more
comprehensive nature (remember these are undergraduates).  They were looking
at slightly more than satellite phones though.

Subject: [SECURITY] Satellite phone

In reviewing our disaster recovery plan a question came up about telephone
service during a disaster. In a large disaster normal phone lines could be
knocked out and cell phone towers could be overloaded. That brought up the
question of a satellite phone and service plan.



What I would like to know is;



  Have others looked into purchasing one or more satellite phones and
service plans to be used in a disaster?



  What phone did you choose and why?



  What level of service plan did you go with?



  Are you satisfied with the quality of service and voice quality when using
the satellite phone?



  Did you purchase a data cable to attach the Sat Phone to a computer?



  Would you purchase the same hardware and service plan if you had to do it
again from scratch?



And just about any additional information / pearls of wisdom / 2 cents you
may want to provide on the subject.
