Iridium Data Equipment & Solutions
...web & email and other enhanced data services
Iridium provides 2400 bps data. The effective internet speed can be significantly
improved using compression software (included with the data kit). The data kit also includes
a 9-pin female D-style serial port attachment (shown right) for your computer.
If your computer does not have a serial port, Outfitter Satellite offers a PCMCIA card adapter.
Extra Features of the SkyFile Email/Fax Software:
-
SkyFile software is FREE to all Outfitter customers buying data kits
-
SkyFile includes an E-mail account
-
SkyFile supports Digital Faxing via your computer
-
SkyFile Email includes sophisticated Virus and Spam Filtering including white and black lists
so that you can control who emails you on your satellite phone.

-
SkyFile Email includes Crash & Recovery allowing large email attachments up to
1 MegaByte to be transmitted or received successfully even if
several satellite calls are required due to poor signal issues.
-
SkyFile Email lets you selectively download Email Text without Attachments so that
even if someone sends you a large attachment that you do not want to download immediately, you can
download the rest of your email. The large attachment can be downloaded later via a web interface when you have a
conventional (terrestrial-based) high speed internet connection.

Computers without Serial Ports
...we have adapters
The Iridium phone requires that you have a 9-PIN RS232 serial port on your computer. If not, Iridium recommends the
use of a PCMCIA-type serial adapter. Outfitter Satellite has found that in many cases certain USB-to-serial adapters
will also work, though there are some types of computers and operating systems that do not function correctly with this
configuration. We stock a variety of adapters and our technical support staff will be glad to consult with you.
* Direct Internet service achieves a nominal 10,000 bps speed using compression software. Most
Windows operating systems are supported, however implementation is sometimes subject to interference by your computer's
hardware configuration. Actual
performance varies
depending on the compressability of the data being transmitted.
