Description
Product Overview
The ICOM IC-SAT100M PTT Global Iridium Satellite Radio is a fixed-mount satellite push-to-talk system designed for vehicles, buildings, and remote installations where handheld radios are not practical. By separating the antenna and RF unit from the main control unit, it allows reliable global communication from indoors, underground, or inside vehicles—while still using the Iridium satellite network for true worldwide coverage. It is built for fleet operators, emergency services, utilities, and industrial teams that need dependable group communication without relying on cellular or terrestrial radio infrastructure.
Product Details
True Global PTT Coverage
The IC-SAT100M connects directly to the Iridium satellite network, enabling instant one-to-many push-to-talk communication anywhere on Earth. With support for up to 15 talkgroups, teams can coordinate across continents, oceans, and remote regions without changing workflows or devices.
Remote Antenna, Reliable Signal
By mounting the antenna with integrated RF unit externally and connecting it to the main unit via a standard CAT5e LAN cable, the IC-SAT100M solves a common satellite challenge: signal obstruction. The antenna can be placed on rooftops, masts, or vehicle exteriors while the radio is operated indoors, inside vehicles, or even below ground.
Flexible Installation Options
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) between the antenna and RF unit simplifies installation and reduces cable complexity. The system supports cable runs up to 100 meters, making it well-suited for large vehicles, fixed sites, control rooms, and industrial facilities. It also integrates easily into IP networks using PoE switches.
Clear Audio in Operational Environments
With 1500 mW of internal audio output and support for a 4 W external speaker, the IC-SAT100M delivers clear, intelligible voice communication in noisy environments such as vehicle cabins, workshops, or command centers.
Built for Harsh Conditions
Each component is rated for real-world durability: the antenna unit is IP67, the main unit IP54, and the microphone IP55. The system is tested to MIL-STD-810 environmental standards and operates across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for year-round deployment in demanding conditions.
Security and Smart Features
Built-in AES 256-bit encryption protects communications, while integrated GPS provides location visibility when needed. Bluetooth support allows hands-free operation, and features like voice recording and short data messaging add flexibility for operational use.
Expert Tip
Field-tested advice: The IC-SAT100 behaves like a professional two-way radio, not a phone. For reliable performance, operate it outdoors with a clear view of the sky and avoid transmitting near vehicles, buildings, or rock walls. Establish radio discipline before deployment—assign a talkgroup lead, pause briefly after pressing PTT, and keep messages short. The 1500 mW speaker is designed for noisy environments, but disciplined communication is what ensures clarity and safety in the field.
