Iridium Fixed Mount Unit: Sailor SC4000

Home » Sat Phone Buying Guide » Iridium » Sailor SC4000<< Iridium 9522-P | Iridium Pilot >>

Note: The same unit is also sold by both Eurocom and Skanti under their own branding.

It can be fitted reasonably discreetly for a permanent install onboard. The main unit is tucked neatly out of sight, and only the main handset remains on display.

In general this unit is overshadowed by the Iridium 9522-P Compact Fixed Unit which is smaller, more modern, has SMS messaging capability and is also less expensive. The advantages of the Sailor fixed unit are SSAS capability and the ability to connect up to 4 handsets to the base unit.

Accessories

Serial to USB Adaptor

Serial to USB adaptor

The Iridium 9522-P and 9522-TP fixed phones connect to the PC using a "Serial" connector. Most laptops sold these days do not have this connector and so an adaptor to convert to USB will be required.

Our adaptors are well tested and have proved very reliable and easy to configure (always a nice feature when you are 1,000 miles from the nearest computer shop). You can also easily use more than one adaptor if required (for example if you need a second for a GPS unit, or an SSB weather system, etc)
