A satellite docking station is a high-tech accessory that extends the functionality and features of your satellite phone. Models like the ASE 9575 extreme docking station are simple to use indoors and outdoors. Simply place the Iridium phone in the docking station to access satellite communications with standard analog phone sets or your company’s PABX system. When it’s to be on the move, just un-dock the handset and take it with you.
How Docking Stations Work
An Iridium 9575 extreme docking station uses a coaxial cable to connect to an outdoor antenna to maintain a reliable line-of-sight satellite connection. Docking stations also charge the handset while it’s docked.
