Satellite - Generalities • Good independence: The second more independent mean after radio. • Confidentiality: More confidential than radio and local means, it is still possible to be listened by local authorities. • Expensive: Satellite communications are generally expensive but the cost of the local landline need to be compared .
Satellite – ACF Particularities • ACF Paris purchase: Every single satellite phone needs to be purchased in Paris. • Warranty: 1 year warranty. • Service: All SIM cards have post-paid service for security reasons (no pre-paid card run out possible). • Effectiveness: All backup phones need to be checked in used once a month The kit of the sat phone should be complete, especially for the 12V and the 220V power adaptors.
Communication – Log. responsabilities • Equipment • Purchase, maintenance, life expectancy, renewal, support, link H.Q • Usage • allocation, usage (equipment, communication), briefing, training, monitoring • Procedures • Monitoring, logistic, security • Cost • Adequation means/needs, control, reminders • Policies • Fleet renewal, communication plan, projections
Satellite phones – Thuraya • Good points : Very good portability Affordable phone • Bad point : No Global coverage • Preconisation: Use Thuraya phones in the covered areas.
Satellite Modem – Thuraya IP+ • Good points : Voice and high speed data transmission Good efficiency of Thuraya network No use = No bill !!! • Bad points : No global coverage No outside antenna Risk of overconsumption Sentitive protection indice • Preconisations: To have one Thuraya IP+ per base To monitor its use and consumption
Thuraya coverage South Somalia North Sumatra
Satellite phones – Isat phone • Good points : Inmarsat network Global coverage • Bad point : Expensive • Preconisation: To use in mobile need outside Thuraya network
Satellite Modem – BGAN • Good points : Voice and high speed data transmission Very good efficiency of INMARSAT network Worldwide coverage • Bad points : No outside antenna High risk of overconsumption Sentitive protection indice • Preconisations: To have one BGAN per base where no Thuraya coverage To monitor its use and consumption
