Thuraya XT Satellite Phone
Thuraya XT — simplicity and functionality.
The body of the Thuraya XT meets the IP54/IK03 standard (protection against moisture, dust, vibration, and drops). The phone screen is covered with anti-glare glass and has a brightness sensor that ensures good readability in any weather conditions. The IK03 standard indicates resistance to shocks. The body is made of the latest composite materials. Inside, the Thuraya XT is rubberized and has aluminum coating for even better protection against dust and moisture.
Compared to its predecessor SO-2510, the Thuraya XT offers greater durability, a higher-quality 2-inch display with improved resolution, and a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.
According to the developers, call quality has been significantly improved thanks to the upgraded transceiver. In addition, the GPS navigation of the Thuraya XT allows you to set waypoints. If necessary, the owner can plot the most convenient route and follow it using the electronic compass, which shows distance traveled and remaining. At each checkpoint, it is possible to automatically send a message to any contacts specified by the user. This function is extremely important for those whose trip may involve risk to life.
Buying the Thuraya XT satellite phone will be useful for those who want to stay connected both by voice and via the internet. The Thuraya XT easily connects to a computer and can be used as a satellite internet modem.
