In this day and age, there are a variety of ways to communicate. While cell phones are the most common way for people to get in touch, emergency responders, public safety officials, law enforcement, government agencies, offshore workers, and transportation companies often turn to satellite two-way radios, like the explorer msat g3, to stay in contact. There are a number of benefits to using satellite two-way radios, such as:

Reliability

While cell phones work well in many places, coverage can't be guaranteed across the globe. When a person or agency needs to be able to stay in touch no matter where they are located, a satellite two-way radio is much more reliable than cell phone technology. Satellite two-way radios do not rely on cell phone towers for coverage-- they actually connect through satellites located in space. This means that satellite two-way radios will provide a clear means of communication in the absence of cell phone towers or if cell phone towers are not operating correctly.

Lower Expenses

Purchasing cell phones for everyone in an organization can be quite expensive, especially when cell phones with certain features are needed. When an organization or agency is watching their bottom line, opting for satellite two-way radios are a more affordable option. In addition to satellite two-way radios costing less than today's cell phones, they also tend to be more durable, so the cost of repairs or replacements will be lower. 

GPS Tracking

Satellite two-way radios always provide the GPS coordinates of where a unit is located. This feature can help ensure that a user of a satellite two-way radio can be located no matter the circumstances. This can be a big safety benefit for offshore workers, or agency employees who may be completing projects in remote and rural locations.

Unlimited Network Options

Despite being called a two-way radio, satellite two-way radios can actually have many users on the same network. No matter how large an agency or organization is, every person who is issued a satellite two-way radio can communicate with other people who are on the same network. This ensures clear communication in all situations, whether routine or emergency. 

While many people can connect to the same network, it is possible to make a network very secure so outsiders can't access it. This is imperative for agencies and organizations that must be discreet in order to protect patented information or protect public safety in the event of an emergency.
