Since the satellite phone debuted in 2009 the IsatPhone Pro has
been a market leader in the satellite communication industry. The IsatPhone Pro satellite telephone from
Inmarsat has always featured: near toll-quality voice, voicemail, text and
email messaging, with the ability to send your GPS position via either text or
e-mail. To maintain these features and
new ones you should check the Firmware version on your IsatPhone Pro handset.
To check your firmware version on your IsatPhone Pro, select:
Menu > Settings > About. Your
firmware version should be V5.2.0. If it
is not, then you will have to upgrade your phones firmware before June of 2013.
Inmarsat has released a mandatory firmware upgrade for the
GSPS service on the IsatPhone Pro handset.
This latest version was released on November 16th 2012. If you have purchased an IsatPhone Pro prior
to this date you will need to upgrade the firmware on your IsatPhone Pro
handset.
This is a mandatory firmware upgrade, meaning that the
features introduced by the firmware are vitally important for the GSPS service
including the network and the IsatPhone Pro handset. In order to update your phone you will need
to download the Inmarsat Firmware Upgrade Tool as well as the latest version of
Firmware. Links to both downloads can be
found on this site here.
Inmarsat advises that per end of June this upgrade is
absolutely critical as IsatPhone Pro phones that are not upgraded by 30th of
June, 2013, will no longer be able to register and make/receive calls for
handsets in the field Inmarsat recommends that firmware is distributed to all
customers.
Instructions on the IsatPhone Pro Firmware Upgrade from Inmarsat can be found on the GMPCS website here.
Firmware upgrade software doesn't seem to work on Windows 8 - 'start upgrade' never lights up
