Voice and Data Services with Sky Connect MARINE

Sky Connect MARINE's RJ- 11 interface supports up to five standard wired or cordless telephones. Users will hear an Iridium "dial tone" indicating that any telephone number in the world can now be direct dialed. The RJ-11 connector may also be connected to PBX systems permitting access to the Iridium network from any PBX phone. With ganged MARINE systems, multiple Iridium phone numbers can be connected into a PBX system. Dimensions are 10.5 x 4.5 x 2.4 inches. MARINE is equipped with a serial data port that is compatible with any computer. This cable may be extended up to 15 meters from the unit using RS-232 signaling or up to 1000 meters using an optional RS-422 adapter at each end.

Iridium Transceiver Antenna

Sky Connect MARINE is coupled with a high gain helix antenna. This antenna's profile assures excellent visibility of the Iridium network satellites and is designed with a waterproof housing with a threaded base for easy installation. Standard installations can use up to a ten-meter terminated cable to connect the antenna to the MARINE transceiver.
