PTT VERSUS HF
IRIDIUM PROPRIETARY BUSINESS INFORMATION 11
Mark Hawkins – Global Field Technology
Manager, “Save the Children”
• “Let’s be clear, Iridium PTT is not intended to
be a short range radio solution, however for
long range communications, this is an option to
consider.”
• “Typical installation of a base HF radio station
is $6250. For a vehicle it is $5000, plus
licensing costs on top.”
• “HF Radio is complex to set up, whereas PTT
is quick and easy.”
• “PTT will cost less in the medium term than
investing in a new HF radio system.”
