Looking for satellite phone system to integrate into pilot and passenger coms.

Don't mind a cable to a seperate antenna but the hardware should be portable.

Hi tech hi cost not excluded

Have a look at the Iridium based systems provided by http://www.blueskynetwork.com/ can highly recommend them especially the D1000 fixed install with the 9505A portable phone

Thanks
Yes Iridium has come down in price to $1.50 minute voice calls.

The portable Sat Talk III hardware looks promising, does anyone have experience with it?

Any bright ideas for a removable patch antenna?
