| Remote commercial operations pose unique
communications problems. There may be no telecommunications infrastructure,
no reliable sources of power and no protection to terrestrial lines
from harsh weather. With its Globalstar satellite communications technology,
QUALCOMM Satellite Phones can turn remote locations into centers of
business operations and ensure that you’ll have access to voice and
data communications. The GSP-1600
Portable Tri-Mode Satellite Phone and the GSP-2800/GSP-2900
Fixed Satellite Phones work as a cellular phone when cellular
coverage is available and as satellite phones when it isn’t. |

All the communications disadvantages of remote location
mining disappear with QUALCOMM Satellite Phones that bring simple, reliable
and cost-effective communications to some of the most remote areas of the
world. Our satellite phones operate without the need for any land-based
infrastructure and without regard to weather.
Think of the times your geologists have found themselves
without any means of communicating critical data to headquarters. Then
think of the possibilities with a cost-effective Globalstar satellite
communication solution.
- Keep in touch with company headquarters or communicate
with suppliers about logistics.
- Receive valuable data during every phase of mining:
you’ll be immediately informed of the location of beds, test results
and changes in plans.
- Eliminate the slow and expensive method of sending
logging files and other statistical data by helicopter from exploration
sites to the nearest office. Use the satellite phones’ data capabilities†
to capture data, send and receive email and digital faxes or transfer
logging files. What used to be lengthy and costly data collection and
delivery is now real time and inexpensive data transmission in digital
format over the Internet or remote LAN access.
- Send exploration information back to company’s headquarters
for analysis. Headquarters can quickly receive a flow of important mining
data such as initial geological surveying or the day-to-day operation
of the mine. Just connect a QUALCOMM Globalstar portable satellite phone
to a computer or PDA via a QUALCOMM Globalstar Satellite Data Kit and
view schedules, site plans, or site photography. Then communicate in
real time about the daily management of the plant.
- Utilize the satellite phone’s position location* information
to aid in site layout in positioning structures and locations of plants.
- Provide your crew peace of mind knowing they can instantly
summon help or medical supplies if they need it with dependable communications
available. What used to be punishing isolation for your crew is now
bridged by QUALCOMM satellite phones. Morale takes a beating when crews
are away from home for a month at a time, but with the satellite phone,
miners, geologists and maintenance personnel can all keep in touch with
their families and friends.
Fixed Satellite Phone Connectivity
The GSP-2800/2900 Fixed Satellite Phones can be connected
to any standard cordless or corded telephone set via a standard twisted
pair connection. Because telephone sets may be distant from their serving
Radio Antenna Units (RAU), it is possible to equip a sprawling site with
multiple phone extensions with the proper choice of telephone sets. Cordless
telephone sets add another level of convenience when a standard two-wire
telephone set is desired along with an untethered connection. Certain
cordless telephone sets may offer walkie-talkie like features for your
added convenience when on the same site. A small office can also be supported
due to the Fixed Phone's compatibility with PBX systems.
Data Capabilities
Data capabilities include QUALCOMM Globalstar satellite
data† services that let you to access the Internet or any TCP/IP packet-switched
data network when connected to a computer or PDA, and send and receive
e-mail, access corporate data networks and intranets, web browsing, etc.
Additional data capabilities include position location*, short messaging
service (SMS)*, digital facsimile† and Caller ID*. Data transmission over-the-air
is provided at full-duplex rates of up to 9600 bits per second, with no
additional modem or dedicated telephone circuits required.
Thanks to QUALCOMM's digital technology, what you say and
hear will be crystal clear, and your data transmissions will be secure
and reliable. Check out how a satellite phone works, get to know
our portable and fixed satellite phones, and learn more
