The Inmarsat IsatPhone Pro improves remote safety

With the latest IsatPhone Pro firmware from Inmarsat, your IsatPhone Pro satellite phone can become an emergency personal alert device. The personal alert feature allows users to send their GPS coordinates and short message to predetermined recipients. The IsatPhone Pro subscriber can save time and money with the personal alert option. This new feature is similar to the SOS button on the Iridium Extreme satellite phone.

The personal alert feature enables a user to send their GPS position, along with a short pre-configured message, as an email or text message, to a maximum of 10 recipients. Personal alerts can be sent quickly whilst maximizing reliability. This is achieved by restricting the alert to one 160 character message, and mailing to each recipient separately. Each message sent is charged separately.

The personal alert is made up of the following elements:
  •  Last GPS fix, time of GPS acquisition and fix accuracy
  •  Time that the personal alert was triggered on the phone
  •  Email address of the recipient if the alert is sent as an email
  •  A short message predefined by the user, written in Latin characters

It is fairly simple to set up and activate the personal alert on the IsatPhone Pro satellite phone. To do this, make sure that you have the latest version of the IsatPhone Pro firmware. To check your firmware, choose menu > settings > about. You should have Firmware version v5.0.0 or higher, if not contact GMPCS tech support at 954-973-3100

To set up and activate a personal alert, select Extras > Personal alert > Edit personal alert. Select Configure personal alert, and edit the recipients and the message.

Once your IsatPhone Pro is set up for personal alerts the quickest way to send a personal alert is to press * and # simultaneously for at least 2 seconds from the main screen. The antenna must be deployed and your IsatPhone Pro connected to the satellite to successfully send personal alert messages. Any questions regarding this new feature, please call GMPCS 954-973-3100.

  1. The scheme furthermore supplies its users with a GPS wireless mesh, in-vehicle locator system, web-based mapping, and facts and figures logging applications. All these characteristics record and present facts and figures from the motor adviser in real time, making certain that data is always unquestionable.
