20 kbits sounds more like a Warmspot, but better than nothing.

Not ideal for browsing, but 5 smart phones can be connected at one time and simultaneously text.

Call quality equal to the pilot when we tested the unit.

In my opinion the GO is a definite game changer for hand held satcomms.

Inmarsat will soon be releasing their new phone as well.

Ive got one on my desk and must say, build wise, it resembles the durability of an Iridium phone which is a massive step up from their original design.

Someone is going to figure this out, sooner or later... But this isn't it. I mean, this is just slightly better than dialup.
