If you mean the ISatPhone, yes, we have used it for 2 years almost exclusively for data
service when
offshore.
I would recommend against any tcp/ip based
compression service such as Xgate. Look into UUPlus or AmosConnect, will
work much better then any tcp/ip based service.
I have some other posts on here about the ISatPhone, works fine, and much cheaper then
iridium. With a good compression service, the speed benefit from
iridium is negligible for gribs and basic emails.
You do not need a
docking station, the
phone plugs into a computer via a USB cable and then can dial out to an
email service such as UUPlus or AmosConnect to send and receive emails.
