Sidekick Satellite Wi-Fi Router
The OCENS Sidekick satellite Wi-Fi router effortlessly connects your Wi-Fi-enabled smartphones, tablets, and computers to your satellite phone, delivering weather updates, email, messaging, and more. With the Sidekick, enjoy hassle-free connectivity, as it seamlessly integrates with any Mac, PC, smartphone, or tablet. Say goodbye to cumbersome USB drivers and serial connections—stay connected with ease, wherever you are.
So what does the Sidekick satellite router do for me?
- It lets me connect smartphones, tablets and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices to satellite phones that do not have built-in Wi-Fi.
- It allows me to avoid running cables and installing drivers to PC’s and Mac’s. Although these devices do generally have USB and some still even serial ports, not having to put yourself through the painstaking process of driver install and not being tethered to one location to conduct my satcom business is a real bonus.
- The Sidekick also prevents your satellite connections from being bogged down by software on your computer which is not satellite compatible. When connecting with a standard cabled approach, these applications see the connection you are establishing to your satellite phone as just another network connection. Then they do what they are designed to do. That is, use that connection to try to update or otherwise pass information through a very tight or expensive bandwidth pipe. Although these programs never succeed in these attempts, they substantially slow down your connection and make all the work you are really trying to get done through your satellite phone that much slower. Slower means more minutes used to complete a given task. More minutes consumed means a higher satellite bill. So for this reason alone, your money spent on the integration of the Sidekick into your legacy satellite system is well spent indeed.
