iSatPhone PRO for Polish diplomats
Company TS2 received a contract to supply satellite telephones to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. The devices are to provide communication in emergency and will be passed to Polish embassies and consulates throughout the world. Diplomats often stay in areas with no coverage of traditional mobile networks. Now they can use generally available and safe satellite communication.
Satellite telephones are to assure mobile communication between the head office and diplomatic posts of the Ministry in the following emergencies: post evacuation, natural disaster, technical problems, overloading of local landline communication systems. They are failsafe because unlike mobile telephones they do not need land transmitters, which cannot be installed in all locations and in addition can be destroyed by natural disasters, sabotage or combat operations.
The iSatPhone phone chosen through a bidding process is indispensable in critical situations on land, in desert, mountains or on open ocean. It can work in temperatures between -20OC to +55OC and is resistant to humidity, shock and dirt. The device uses Immarsat-4s network – the newest generation of satellites assuring commercial voice communication services.
TS2 is a leading provider of domestic and international satellite communication solutions. The following are main customers of this service provider: US State Department, Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, United States Marine Corps (USMC) and US Army Corps of Engineers.

TS2 Satellite Phones for Polish Diplomats
TS2 has acquired a contract for the supply of 150 sat phones to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The equipment is intended to secure communication in the event of emergency and the phones will be provided to Polish ambassadors and consuls across the world. Diplomats frequently visit regions where no conventional mobile telecommunication system is available. Now they can use satellite connections ensuring global coverage and safety.

It is operable in temperature range from 20°C to +55°C and is resistant to dampness, shock or contamination.
