SATcase equips smartphones with global coverage

UK-based SATcase has launched a satellite communications device of the same name. The case can transform a standard smartphone into a satellite phone, ensuring that its user can communicate no matter where in the world they are.  The device contains a 406 beacon that can help SAR teams locate people quickly and accurately and is also capable of reaching frequencies that can be utilised by SAR teams searching by land, air or sea.

The transformation is seamless: after placing one’s smartphone inside a durable, rugged case, users simply install the SATcase application. The resulting device runs on a familiar operating system that is loaded with satellite technology able that ensures lack of coverage is easily negotiated. This will no doubt be appealing to the growing legions of superyacht owners who favour adventure and exploration over the more conventional cruising grounds.

Company founder, Jim Thomson, stated, "We are extremely proud to introduce SATcase to the market. This is a vital piece of advanced technology that will help save the lives of people all over the world. The practical applications of our system are also impressive. Users can maintain cellular communications no matter where they are on earth, and unlike traditional satellite phones, there’s no need to carry multiple units because our device serves multiple purposes. Additionally, it’s compact enough to fit into a coat pocket or purse."
