UK. Flanagan’s SatCom phone keeps him in touch at Cape Horn

Adrian Flanagan, currently mid way through his solo global circumnavigation of the world, is keeping in touch and sending his reports back to the UK with the help of a satellite phone donated by SatCom Distribution.

SatCom, a leading global distributor of satellite communications equipment, has been helping to keep spirits buoyant both aboard Barrabas and back home in the UK. Louise Flanagan, Expedition Manager said “The satellite phone is the one of the most essential piece of kit on the boat. During his rounding of the Horn, Adrian’s first line computer was put out of action due to an electrical fire. Had it not have been for his SatCom phone, we would have had no reliable form of contact. Obviously it is vital for us to have an open line of communication 24/7 and at the moment we speak every day.”

Thoughts:

And now we see the importance of satellite phone. Not only in a jungle, it also applies on the ocean wide and the Antartica / Antartic.
