 New Inmarsat Satellite Direct Service

Posted in Delta Wave News (RSS), Iridium Service Bulletins (RSS)

Delta Wave has a new service to offer called Inmarsat Satellite Direct.

Satellite Direct is a means of placing calls to Inmarsat terminals either via a two-staged toll free access or via direct U.S. or U.K number assignment (Satellite Direct Plus).

Satellite Direct® enables users to place double-stage fixed-to-mobile calls from any location in the world to any satellite terminal.

Charges are as per your current voice airtime rates from your Inmarsat terminal. (Much lower than your LD provider.)

Key benefits:

* Universal: available for Inmarsat, Iridium, Thuraya and other Low Earth Orbit satellite services.

* Flexible: no monthly fees or fixed network mark-ups for satellite calls through toll-free numbers (Satellite Direct).

* Practical: features include Calling Line Identification (CLID) and Quick Number dialing (Satellite Direct)

* Satellite Direct offers a means of reaching the remote user via Caller ID (CLID) functions which eliminate the need to enter PIN Codes. Up to 99 CLID's may be assigned per account.

*Satellite Direct also offers Quick Number (QN) assignments per Satellite Direct account. QN's are mapped up to 10 Inmarsat terminals. By dialing the platform using one of the 10 QN's one would not need to enter the destination Inmarsat number.

*Used in conjunction with CLID, it turns it into a single staged platform for no monthly fee.

* Satellite Direct Plus offers US or UK phone number mapping to your terminal for a monthly fee of $29.00.

Can't beat that!
