Getting email to work reliably over a satellite phone at a reasonable cost is a daunting task. Most satellite phones connect at low bandwidth speeds of 2400 to 9600 baud and can measure latency (the time it takes for a piece of information to travel
from one computer to another) in seconds rather than milliseconds. While standard
Internet protocols can operate under low bandwidth, high latency conditions, they are
just not optimized for such conditions. This makes sending and receiving email both
difficult and expensive.
UUPlus offers a robust and reliable email solution specifically designed for Internet
email and file transfer over satellite phone networks. UUPlus is easy to install and
use, will work with most POP compatible mailers and will help keep your phone costs
to a minimum.
UUPlus offers two types of service; Personal, which is designed for individual use and SOHO, which is designed for groups who want individual email addresses, but share a single satellite phone connection.
