Winning for its pivotal, industry-first “Big Bundle” satphone plan initiative, Pivotel Satellite’s world-first solution increases the accessibility of satcomms tech in regional and remote Australia.
Pivotel Satellite. It is a well known Australian provider of satellite and mobile technology including satellite phones, satellite broadband, personal and asset trackers, docking kits, M2M connections and maritime communications, and the company is proudly broadcasting its latest accolade.
It is the winner of the 2017 ACOMM Communications Alliance’s Satellite Provider of the Year Award, for its innovative and industry first “Big Bundle” plan, with the company’s Executive Director, Robert Sakker, stating “the award offers industry recognition for its forward thinking partnership with the Thuraya network.”
“We knew that traditional mobile satellite solutions were viewed as an expensive communication option, and only used in the event of an emergency or for critical business communication,” said Sakker.

“We wanted to challenge the way it had always been done, and we’re excited to deliver a solution that brings satellite access and usage costs in line with the more familiar cellular mobile plans that Australians have come to accept as standard.
“For just $99 per month, users have access to $400 of included value on their satellite device plus unlimited voice and SMS usage with up to 2GB of data on their cellular service.
“If a customer uses their full $400 of allocated included value on voice calling, the average cost per minute is less than 20 cents, giving dramatic cost benefits compared to other satellite phone packages.”
Naturally, Pivotel is quick to point out that its winning Big Bundle product is “just one of many initiatives launched by Pivotel this year.”
