Some Real World Examples...
A large hospital in New Mexico is purchasing satellite equipment from SatWest for its emergency helicopter and aircraft fleet as well as an office satellite phone as a backup for its emergency command center communications.
A man who loves to hike and hunt in the backcountry of Arizona but has heart problems has purchased a phone from SatWest to give a sense of security to his family.
After the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Iridium phones were essential to emergency response crews after other telecom infrastructure had been destroyed or clogged.
Personally, I always take my phone when I travel across New Mexico with my family and when I travel overseas. It is a great way for me to check my voicemail at my office at all hours of the day.
