I'm curious do you work environment require you to have multiple sat phones? For someone who knows nothing about these, what are some of the state of the art choices right now?

No, I’m just a tech geek who had to be emergency airlifted from 11,000ft off a mountain straight to an emergency room. I happened to have an Iridium phone at the time and it’s what likely saved my life (no cell phones worked there). Since then, I’ve been interested in something better and so have done a bunch of research trying brands over the years and have settled in on a few devices I find best for my needs.

Could you share some of your recommendations or what your research has uncovered?

Oil and Gas are huge users of Sat phones - there are huge areas of Oil and Gas infrastructure across the country that reside in areas not served by cell phone service.
Also, marine (ships, platforms etc)
