Australian Satellite Services, with its wide range of satellite communications products, has the right product for the marine environment. We can provide totally portable satellite phones, which can operate up to 200 nautical miles off the shore.

Alternatively we can supply satellite phones, which have a much longer range of operation, practically worldwide.

We have supplied satellite phones to participants in yacht races such as the Melbourne to Hobart and the Trans Tasman Challenge. ComputerLand, the eventual winner of a Melbourne to Hobart race skippered by John Saul was the chosen yacht to be fitted with satellite phone. This yacht and Jarkan (the winner and record breaker of the 1998 Trans Tasman Challenge, skippered by "Kanga" Birtles, were both sponsored by Australian Satellite Services.

Currently satellite phones form a standard component of communication fitouts for racing yachts, as this is the only solution available on the high seas. We can also provide the necessary GPS tracking and monitoring devices for marine applications.
