Beam Communications has developed a range of remote standalone calling solutions that are totally independent of any ground-based infrastructure. The Highway or Remote Location Emergency calling phone can easily be deployed into any environment to provide peace of mind for security or assistance.
The solution is ideal for remote locations where access to terrestrial services for providing emergency calling phones has previously either not been available or too costly. Through the integration of a robust installation and the intelligent communications terminal equipment incorporating a robust power module and user interface Beam communications now lets you deploy a turnkey solution into any location.

The solution can easily be adopted for any environment and location depending on the requirement and also provides the ability for localisation and customisation where required. As the solution is modular the entire system can be pre-configured which makes it very simple to ship and deploy for installation into remote locations.

The modular system allows for scalable installation options depending on the local environment and the availability of power resources.

In order to allow the flexibility to deploy the most cost effective solution depending on the locations Beam allows the implementation of various technology types to maximise the availability of terrestrial networks if and when available in some locations.

The ruggedised user interfaces are manufactured in Australia and used globally in remote and harsh environments, fully tested, certified and compliant for use in high temperature and humidity environments. It is manufactured from steel and provides a water resistant non-corrosive keypad interface.

The Handset is extremely robust and made from fire retardant hardened plastic, the armoured cable has a wire insert that gives maximum protection from vandalism, whilst the cable is of the highest durability and can withstand extreme tension.

Beam Communications can develop customised solution for any application. Various installation options are available including affixing to buildings, or other fixed existing structures. There is also a range of option for areas where availability of water for a cement base is limited whereby a pivot installation may be more appropriate and convenient

The Iridium Satellite network provides a robust network for supporting a global tracking application, with global coverage from pole to pole and the use of low powered antennas that are omni directional this makes a Beam TrackALERT system your desired installation for any application.

Whilst the installation and integration to the terminal is very straight forward, selecting the appropriate antenna and antenna cable for the installation is also important to ensure greatest call quality over the satellite network. There is a range of suitable antenna installation types for various applications. In order to maximize the signal penetration in some locations the antenna can be installed some distances away from the main terminal in a more appropriate location.

The antenna should always have as clear line of sight to the sky as possible, eight degrees above the horizon is always ideal, however the clearer the view to the sky the greater the reliability of service. 

The maximum loss for an antenna cable installed to any Iridium device is 3db maximum. Exceeding this loss will affect reliability and call quality.
