ABOUT US
Satellite Phone, Internet & Garmin Specialists in Johannesburg, South Africa — Since 2002

Why Customers Choose SatComms

​

SatComms is a Johannesburg-based satellite communication company operating from Parktown North, Gauteng. We are South Africa's only ICASA-approved reseller of Iridium, Inmarsat, and Thuraya satellite phones and devices — and we have been supplying satellite communication solutions and Garmin products to individuals, corporates, NGOs, mining companies, and security teams across South Africa and the rest of Africa since 2002.

​

We are not a drop-shipper or an online-only retailer. We are a physical business with real staff, a local address, and over two decades of hands-on experience in African satellite coverage conditions. When you buy from SatComms, you deal with people who have personally set up satellite communication systems in the Karoo, the Mozambique bush, offshore vessels, and urban security environments — and who will still be here next year when your device needs a service.

Satellite Communication Experience Since 2002 — Johannesburg, South Africa

SatComms has been supplying satellite communication devices and airtime since 2002. With over two decades of hands-on experience across South Africa, Africa, and offshore environments, we understand what works in real-world conditions — not just what looks good on a quote.

​

24/7 Satellite Phone Support for South African Clients

Satellite communication is often used in critical or emergency situations. That’s why we offer round-the-clock support, not just office-hours assistance. When your signal matters, you need a supplier who answers and knows how to help.

​

Free Annual Satellite Phone Health Check with Every Purchase

Every new satellite phone purchased from SatComms includes a FREE annual satellite phone health check and device clean-up. This includes handset inspection, firmware checks, battery assessment, and general condition review — helping ensure your device is ready when you need it, year after year.

​

Buy Satellite Phones & Airtime Online — Securely, Any Time

Our professional, highly secure e-commerce platform operates all year round, allowing customers to purchase airtime, top-ups, and accessories whenever needed — even outside business hours. No delays when time is critical.

​

ICASA-Approved & Locally Accountable in South Africa

SatComms is an authorised service provider for Inmarsat, Iridium, and Thuraya, and the only ICASA-approved South African supplier. We operate from local premises with real staff and real accountability. If something goes wrong, you deal directly with experienced professionals who understand local requirements and African satellite coverage realities — not an overseas help desk.

​

In short:
SatComms isn’t just a supplier — we’re a long-term partner in reliable communication.
When failure isn’t an option, experience and support make all the difference.
