Latitude Technologies… Airy Cost Effective SatCalling (SATCOM)

[SatNews] Latitude Technologies is now offering local number calling throughout the US and Canada to make their satellite telephone use more streamlined. It now is possible for any SkyNode customer to use their satellite telephone as an extension to their office.

Callers will no longer be restricted by outrageous pricing from their local telephone companies when calling a satellite telephone. In addition, custom pin access codes can be individually programmed to control unauthorized calls. The gap between the cell phone market and satellite telephones is now bridged by Latitude, with a substantial cost savings to operate their satellite transceivers anywhere. Significant savings can be made calling from landlines to aircraft, and from aircraft to aircraft. This type of call traditionally can cost upwards of $15/minute as an international phone call through a regular telephone company. However, with Latitude’s convenient local calling service, calls can be made for as little as $1.49/minute. The Latitude one number feature allows for easier dialing, no more international calling fees, and the flexibility to have a specific telephone number stay with an individual aircraft rather, than be associated with the transceiver itself. This significant cost savings service is available for the SkyNode S200-001, S200-011, S200-021 and the Technisonic TDFM 7000/7300 S200-SG11.
