I've been researching sat phones and pricing. As we discussed at the EMC and as 
I understand it, a sat phone is a backup comm option that likely won't get much 
use, but in certain special cases it's handy. It's a capability I believe the 
County should have. I am going to pursue the purchase of a phone and plan for 
my office. The best deal I've found is through a vendor called Remote Satellite 
Systems.

*         The phone is an ISAT PhonePro, capable of voice, SMS, and email for 
$650.

*         The 'emergency use' plan is $380 year, including 10 minutes per 
month. In the event you need more minutes you can add pre-paid minutes or pay 
minute by minute charges.

The vendor can offer discounts on the phones if multiples are ordered. Is any 
other agency or office interested in this capability?
