Following last year’s Iridium relaunch is a new fixed-mount satellite phone made for the marine market. Model IMF100 comes with a small external antenna, a transceiver that may be mounted in a cabinet or anywhere out of sight, and a compact handset with an illuminated keypad. Anyone who has used the portable model 9505 from SatCom Distribution will be at ease with the IMF100, because the operation is nearly identical. Price: $2,780. Anyone who has a 9505 and would like the flexibility of use from the portable along with secure stowage may want to look at the company’s 9505 docking station. Price: $1,150. The external antenna with cable is $435. SatCom Distribution, www.satcomdistribution.com
