AT&T Selling Satellite-Enabled Smart Phone

AT&T has just begun selling its TerreStar Genus, a new cell phone that will have complete blank coverage over the U.S. using satellite. AT&T has created this phone to satisfy customers who have once complained about spotty coverage or drop calls. It can cover areas that normal phones cannot reach such as the wilderness and miles off shorelines. Along with having satellite coverage it is also a smart phone containing the web and email features. Taking both components and putting them together. By AT&T introducing this new innovative cell phone with widespread coverage using a satellite, it hopes to become an important tool for people such as fisherman, forest rangers, and emergency crews.

The new TerreStar Genus phone that AT&T has introduced will be a great benefit to business professionals whose jobs meet these requirements. Some jobs such as fishermen that require them to be offshore for long periods of time or forest rangers whose work in the woods is daily will primarily benefit from the features of this phone. The satellite component, which is directly aimed at the U.S. that the TerreStar contains, is a technological advantage that AT&T has over any other cell phone. For fishermen who are out on their boats, all they need is a view of the sky and this phone will be able to function because of the satellite coverage. Not only is it a satellite phone but it is the first satellite phone that is a smart phone as well. Meaning it has all the benefits of the web or email and does not posses an antenna like traditional satellite cell phones. This phone will come as a great benefit to fisherman and forest rangers, but also to business people who frequently travel to various places and emergency crews who need contact at all times. This phone is appealing to business professionals because of its coverage and consistency, making business more efficient. While the cell phone is very expensive, I believe the TerreStar Genus will set AT&T apart from competing companies because it combines the satellite with the smart phone a product very useful for fisherman, forest rangers, emergencies, and various other business occasions. This phone will probably be in high demand once it has been out for a little while and shows future promise.

The TerreStar Genus is one of the first phones established to be a satellite and smart phone all in one and while the price is high, in the near future the price will surely come down making it more available to a broader variety of customers wishing to purchase the phone. Most customers number one concern is their coverage and dropped calls. By AT&T ensuring the satellite feature of the phone it makes the TerreStar Genus all the more attractive and reliable. People will be able to communicate while over water, in mountains, valleys, and the wilderness more easily and not have to worry about dropping calls or disconnecting.
