Hey All,

I have had a lot of replies offlist and most point towards Inmarsat as the
preferred option. Also talked to my brother is in signals and they use
Inmarsat.

8k was in fact a little cheaper than I though as was thinking more 10 to 15k
since it is Maritime stuff.

I just need to have a chat to a few of the people who have had hands on
experience and find a good provider pref in the QLD area.

Will update with a few details if anyone is interested at a later stage.

There's pros and cons for both.

Iridium = cheap hardware, but generally higher ongoing cost and slow data
speeds.
Inmarsat = more expensive hardware, lower ongoing cost, faster data speeds.

If the requirement is voice only, then Iridium does the job. If you need
data, then you need Inmarsat.

I've had good experiences with the Thrane & Thrane FleetBroadband series
units. Solid performers, work well, gives you an IP Phone that runs via PoE
as well as a couple of ethernet outputs for PCs. Will probably run you
~$8.5k depending on your dealer, plus the cost of the usage plan.

they would rather pay for a quality service rather than a cheap and nasty
service. Not looking at large amounts of data downloads or uploads more just
checking mail/news/weather/stocks.
