Icom Sat100 Satellite Push-to talk (Ptt)

The Icom IC-SAT100 is a handheld PTT satellite radio that runs on the Iridium® Push-To-Talk network, providing truly global, one-to-many communication—even in remote regions without any cellular or terrestrial infrastructure. It is built to deliver rugged, LMR-style usability, but via satellite.

—　Features　—

• Global Coverage: Uses the Iridium LEO satellite constellation, supporting low-latency PTT communication anywhere on Earth — including the poles.

• One-to-Many Talkgroups: Supports up to 15 configurable talkgroups via the Iridium PTT Command Center.

• High Audio Output: Loud speaker output at around 1,500 mW, ideal for noisy or outdoor environments.

• Emergency Button: An orange key on the top panel lets users send an emergency call to a preprogrammed talkgroup with a long press

• Rugged and Weather-Resistant Construction:

  1. IP67 rated (water and dust tight)

  2. Meets MIL-STD-810G durability standards.

• Interoperability: Through the optional VE-PG4 RoIP gateway, it can interconnect with IP phones, LTE networks, analog or digital land-mobile radios (e.g., Icom’s IDAS).

• Secure Communication: AES 256-bit encryption protects voice traffic.

• Built-in GPS & Bluetooth: Provides position information on screen and supports Bluetooth communication.

• AquaQuake™ Function: Vibrates the radio to expel water from the speaker grill if it gets wet.

• Multilingual Display: Supports several languages (e.g., English, French, Japanese, Spanish, Chinese depending on version).

• Other Features: Short data messaging, voice recording, priority interrupt calling, and talkgroup scanning.

—　Scenarios　—

• Remote and Off-Grid Operations
  In regions without cellular coverage—such as polar areas, deserts, mountains, or offshore—the IC-SAT100 provides reliable group communication via Iridium’s global network.

• Disaster Response & Emergency Teams
  When terrestrial infrastructure is compromised (e.g., after a natural disaster), teams can maintain real-time group communication via PTT. The built-in emergency button is especially useful for critical alerts.

• Utility / Infrastructure Work
  For field workers, inspectors, or maintenance crews in remote sites (like power lines, pipelines, remote stations), the radio offers durable, one-to-many communication. With the optional external antenna (e.g. for mounting on vehicles or buildings), it can be used from inside vehicles or structures.

• Interoperable Communication Networks
  Through the VE-PG4 RoIP gateway, organizations can bridge the satellite PTT network with IP phones, LTE, analog/digital LMR systems—making it part of a unified communications infrastructure.

• Safety-Critical Operations
  In industries like mining, maritime, or oil & gas, where safety is paramount, the ruggedness, emergency alert, and group call functionality make it an ideal tool for coordinating teams.
