Compact satellite phone does GSM, GPS too
Aug. 17, 2007
Thuraya recently released a phone combining satellite, tri-band GSM, and GPS functionality. The six-ounce, Windows CE-powered SG-2520 makes ordinary cellular calls when it can get a signal, and automatically switches to satellite calling at other times, the company says.The SG-2520 looks like an ordinary phoneUnlike satellite phones of yore, the SG-2520 looks and acts like a normal cell phone. Thuraya says that whichever network is being employed (cellular or satellite), users can browse the Web on the device's 1.9-inch display, send and receive email, and access SMS or MMS text messaging.The SG-2520 employs Thuraya's Geo Mobile Packet Radio Service (GmPRS), claimed to be TCP/IP-compatible and to provide "always on" connectivity. Data transfer is rated at up to 60 Kbps via GmPRS and 85.6 Kbps via GSM.Also included in the phone is a SiRF starIII GPS receiver. This is said to make the phone useful both as a navigational device and for position reporting. Finally, the SG-2520 also includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, capable of shooting still pictures and taking video clips. Thuraya claims this is the first device that lets users email images instantly even from remote areas.Specifications include:Processor -- not specifiedMemory -- up to 128 MB internalDisplay -- 1.9-inch, 176 x 200 pixels, 262,000 colorsCamera -- 1.3 megapixel, with 11 x digital zoomWireless:satellite voice/dataGSM tri-band (900/1800/1900) operationGeo Mobile Packet Radio Service (GmPRS)GPS -- SiRF starIII receiverData transfer rates:GmPRS -- up to 60 Kbps downstream, 15 Kbps upstreamGSM -- up to 85.6 Kbps downstream, 15 Kbps upstreamI/O interfaces:USB 1.1Bluetooth 1.1InfraredExpansion -- SD slotDimensions -- 5.5 x 2.08 x .74 inches (139 x 53 x 19 mm)Weight -- 6 ounces (170g)Battery life:GSM -- 4 hours talk time, 75 hours standbySatellite -- 2 hours talk time, 40 hours standbySoftware stack -- Windows CE 4.2, Java (J2ME), HTML, WAP 1.0 and 2.0Thuraya said in a statement that it plans to sell at least 70,000 units of the SG-2520 by next March. The company claims its satellite-only SO-2510, launched in 2006, to be a "runaway success," with sales of more than 60,000 units in just four months.The SG-2520 is available now, priced at $1,095 in the U.S.Related stories:Chip-maker claims GPS cost breakthroughWindows CE GPS gadgets do more than navigateWindows CE telematics platform adds satellite backupWindows Mobile GPS phone/PDA assists farmersWindows Mobile PDA/phone sports WiFi, Bluetooth, GPSHTC PDA/phone gets SiRFstar GPS receiverPocket PC GPS phone gains an FM radio
