SATELLITE PTT Radios

What is SATELLITE PTT?
The Icom IC-SAT100/M are the dedicated satellite push-to-talk (PTT) radios,and are the only PTT radios offering real-time communications at the push of abutton between a group of individuals, each of whom can be anywhere on the planet*1.
The IC-SAT100/M use the Iridium® satellite communication network, which covers
the entire globe, including both poles.

Using 66 Low Earth Orbit(LEO) Iridium ® satellites,
the IC-SAT100/M provides
low-latency communication,and broader, more reliablenetwork coverage, comparedto Geosynchronous Equatorial
Orbit (GEO) satellites.

Total Global Coverage, Including the PolesThe Iridium ® satellite network
covers the entire globe,
including both poles,
and can provide
global communications
anywhere on the planet*1.

Interoperability with Conventional RadiosWith a VE-PG4 RoIP gateway,
the IC-SAT100/M can interconnect with an IP phone, WLAN,
LTE, IDAS digital*2, analog
transceivers and other communication systems.

*1 Subscription contracts are required for using the IC-SAT100/M. Depending on the country or region, carrying and/or use of the IC-SAT100/M may be prohibited.
*2 Type-D multi-site trunking and conventional systems.

In-Building Use

Low Visibility Installation for Mobile Use

You can flexibly install the radio and the antenna (with RFunit) with only a LAN cable (Maximum 100 m, 328 ft).
Using PoE (Power over Ethernet) capability, the main unit
supplies power to the antenna unit through the LAN cable.
Connect your PoE injector or switch to extend the distance
between the main unit and the antenna unit. (802.3at compatible)

For a vehicle use, optional AH-40 *must be used for optimal performance and environmental resilience. It must beplaced on the top of the roof (highest point) with least sky
blocking objects around it. When you use a third-party antenna cover, you can cover the AH-40 making it look morediscreet.
* To install the AH-40, drilling a hole on the antenna unit (with RF unit) cover is required.

* User supplied LAN cable is required to replace the supplied 20 m LAN cable.

Types of External Antennas for IC-SAT100 and Usage Guidelines
By replacing the IC-SAT100 antenna with an external antenna,
satellite communication is possible even from a vehicle orbuilding. Select the most suitable antenna according to theinstallation location and application.
*1 OPC-2422 coaxial cable (5 m, 16.4 ft) is required
for more than 1.5 m, 4.9 ft extension.
*2 OPC-2113 coaxial cable (10 m, 32.8 ft) is required
for AH-38 installation.
*3 Optional OPC-2462 or user supplied coaxial cable isseparately required. Cable loss requirement
is 12.5 - 13.0 dB loss at 1621 MHz.
*4 The distance from the main unit to the antenna is a roughguideline. The height of the building is an estimate
assuming that the height of one floor is 3.5 m, 11.5 ft .

Q&A

What about communication fees?

A.

Communication fees are typically charged at a flat rate through a monthly plan, and there
are no additional call charges.* Communication fees differ, depending on the coveragearea and the number of the IC-SAT100/M.

*D epending on the country or area, a flat charge plan may not apply, or the service may not be available.

What is a “Talkgroup”?

A.

Max. 554.5 ft

For 7 to 50 Story Buildings*3*4

Can I use the IC-SAT100
in any location?

A.

The IC-SAT100 can be used inopen spaces, like the rooftopof a building. Receiving andtransmitting may fail, dependingon the satellite position or anyobstacles between the radio andsatellites. Your body can also
be an obstacle. Hook the radio
upright on your shoulder rather
than on your waist.
