non-line-of-sight satellite communications technology enables
civilian government, military and enterprise customers to quickly
and easily make reliable, fully wireless, voice and data
communications available in any non-line-of-sight environment
including inside buildings or structures, onboard vehicles,
aircraft or ships. With SatMAX, users of the Iridium satellite
network can use their existing satellite phones to make multiple
concurrent calls within SatMAX-enabled "hotspot" areas from any
location on Earth. The technology enables routine, mission critical
and backup communications that can improve safety and security,
emergency preparedness and response, user productivity, mobility,
problem solving and mission support. In its portable configuration,
SatMAX can be deployed in minutes, easily transported and can
operate either on batteries or standard AC power allowing users
with existing Iridium handsets to quickly and easily make secure
calls from virtually any location. About Eagle Broadband Eagle
