Sa
tellite cell phones are mobile phones that communications
directly with satellites, rather than going through normal
cellular networks. Communication is established using a large
rectangular antenna that is built into each phone. Although
quite bulky in appearance satellite cell phones are still small
enough to be transported fairly easily.
The main advantage of satellite phones over normal cellular
technology is that they can theoretically be used anywhere in
the world, no matter how remote the location. This is due to the
fact that they receive their signals from orbiting satellites,
not fixed-location cell phone towers.
