Model Description

Thuraya XT Dual is satellite and cellular communication in one phone

When purchasing any communication device, the buyer always wants to use it with maximum benefit. But there are many limitations for both cellular and satellite communications. And often the user had to buy both a satellite phone and a cellular phone, using them depending on the circumstances.

Thuraya decided to radically solve the choice between a satellite phone and a cellular phone by simply combining these formats into one. They got a great Thuraya XT Dual based on the flagship Thuraya XT. There is no doubt about this solution, as Thuraya is one of the world leaders in the satellite communication operator market and satellite equipment manufacturing.

The main difference between the Thuraya XT Dual satellite phone and the regular XT is the ability to switch modes between traditional cellular communication and satellite communication. You just need to switch the mode and thanks to the full-fledged GSM module, within the coverage area of mobile operators the device will work as an ordinary cellular phone without satellite roaming in 900/1800/1900 MHz standards. And when traveling beyond the coverage of cellular operators, Thuraya will provide you with quality and reliable communication with coverage in more than 140 countries around the world!

This satellite phone belongs to business-class devices and is naturally equipped with all necessary functions. The body, traditionally for such devices, is protected against dust, moisture and drops with protection class IP54/IK03. In cellular/satellite talk mode, the phone will work for up to 11/6 hours and up to 160/60 hours in standby mode. Thuraya XT Dual is equipped with a built-in Bluetooth module, a 2 GB memory card and supports Java. Naturally, the device is equipped with GPS navigation with the ability to plan and save routes. Supports packet data transmission GmPRS and internet work at speeds up to 60 Kb/sec. And High Penetration Alerting technology allows receiving satellite signals even with a hidden antenna.

Thuraya XT Dual is an innovative solution in the field of satellite and cellular communication, combining the design and convenience of cellular communication with the capabilities of satellite communication.
