Australia's mobile phone coverage is pretty good, but it's a big country.
That's when a satellite phone can be an essential communications solution for
those who need to be, or just want to be in some of Australia's less accessible
locations.


Optus has teamed up with the worlds leading supplier of satellite phones,
Thuraya to provide a satellite footprint that covers all of Australia and 200
kilometres out to sea.
Not only that, but the Optus phones are the worlds most compact and versatile
satellite phones. The SO 2510 and the SG 2520.
The SO 2510 is rated as the worlds lightest most compact and perfect for just
making satellite phone calls.
The SG 2520 does that very well too, and then a whole lot more!
For a start, it's a dual phone. It works both as a satellite phone and a GMS
Tri-Band phone, like the one you're probably using right now. So you can tap
into the regular national mobile network or roam globally if you're overseas.
The SG 2520 includes GPS (Global Positioning System) so you can locate your
global co-ordinates to find your way in and out of remote areas.
It also includes many of the functions we take for granted on today's modern
communication devices like SMS messaging, a 1 point 3 mega-pixel camera, video
recording, voice recording, diary contacts and calendar, Mp3 player and a memory
card slot to store all the data you might need on a hand held device.
So who's using them?
Pastoral workers, jackaroos, service technicians, mining, engineering,
prospecting, expeditions, marine industry, oil workers, research, medical
services, transport, tourism, grey nomads, in fact anyone who wants to or needs
to stay in touch.
Both the SG-2520 and the SO-2510 do that very well.
