The Pivotel Advantage

.

Pivotel Satellite is an Australian owned and operated company and the largest provider of mobile satellite services (voice, data) in Australia.

$70m of network infrastructure in Australia.

We are able to offer our customers access to more than 100 satellites across 4 different constellations.

We are an Australian licensed carrier and have a complete end to end virtual network between the Pivotel Services Gateway to Thuraya (Dubai), Iridium (Arizona), Globalstar (Aus.) and Inmarsat.

The direct result improved latency and secure Australian termination.

Pivotel uses standard Australian mobile numbers across its range of satellite mobile services. This makes it easier to use and much more cost effective.
