Description
Icom IC-SAT100 Satellite PTT Waterproof Handheld Transceiver, no airtime subscription
System Overview
The IC-SAT100 is a PTT-only satellite phone that cannot make “private” phone calls to fixed or cellular numbers. By comparison, the Iridium Extreme PTT can make “private” phone calls, but only after switching from PTT mode to telephony mode. That said, the IC-SAT100 was purpose-built for PTT and has many clear advantages:
- It has a field-replaceable flexible antenna. If the antenna of the Iridium Extreme PTT is broken, it must be returned to the factory.
- The device can record up to 8 minutes of conversation. This allows someone in a noisy environment to replay the last few incoming transmissions. The Iridium Extreme PTT doesn’t have this capability.
- It has a bright orange Emergency Button that instantly transmits an alarm to the Priority Talk Group. The Iridium Extreme PTT doesn’t have this capability.
- The Device handset can simultaneously send a 100-character text message to all other IC-SAT100 handsets on the current Talk Group. The Iridium Extreme PTT doesn’t have texting-over-PTT capability.
- Android phones connected via Bluetooth to an IC-SAT100 can participate in texting over PTT using a special app.

Wide Area Global Communications
The Iridium® satellite network covers the entire earth, including both poles, and can provide wide area global communications anywhere on the planet*.
Real-Time, Low-Latency Communication
Using 66 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Iridium® satellites, the IC-SAT100 provides low-latency communication, and broader, more reliable network coverage, compared to Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) satellites.
Waterproof, Dust-tight, and Durable Body
It provides IP67 waterproofing (1 m depth of water for 30 minutes) and dust-tight protection, making it ideal for use in harsh outdoor environments. The radio also meets MIL-STD 810G specifications. The operating temperature range is from –30°C to +60°C (–22 °F to 140 °F).
In-Vehicle or In-Building Use
With the AH-40 optional antenna, you can use the IC-SAT100 in the vehicle (by attaching it to the roof) or building (by placing it outside a window). The IC-SAT100 has Bluetooth®* capability and allows hands-free operation while driving.
1500 mW Powerful Audio
1500 mW audio delivered from the internal speaker provides loud and clear communication, even in noisy environments.
Long-lasting Battery Life
The supplied BP-300 Li-ion battery pack provides 14.5 hours of operation.
Private Conversation
The IC-SAT100 provides secure conversations with AES 256-bit encryption.
Conventional Radios and IP Phones Interconnection
With a VE-PG4 RoIP gateway, the IC-SAT100 can interconnect with an IP phone, IP, LTE, IDAS digital* and analog transceivers.
