Weighing
less than half a kilogram, the Iridium telephone by Motorola doubles as a satellite and a
cellular (terrestrial) wireless phone. For terrestrial access, moving between local
networks is as easy as inserting a different radio cassette - each one compatible with a
different local cellular standard*. For Iridium system access, the unit also includes a
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. The key to enhanced personalized telephone features
and security, your SIM card prevents anyone from using your phone without proper
authorization. Similar in design to Motorola's popular cellular phones, Iridium telephones use digital facilities for maximum clarity and signal quality. *Motorola cellular cassettes will be available in GSM 900 or CDMA/AMPS/NAMS 800 standards. Price: approx US$3,200 (12/98) |
