If you or someone you know frequently uses a satellite phone to send and receive e-mail, you know how costly it can be. Here’s some much needed good news: UUPlus, a sat-phone e-mail provider has the best compression ratio of any product we’ve seen. Utilizing a custom transport protocol, full duplexing, compression and message batching, UUPlus can increase data throughput up to 400%.

Here’s how it works. When mail is sent through your POP3 client such as Outlook Express, UUPlus grabs it, bundles it into one message, compresses it, strips off and separately compresses attachment. All mail is routed through a UUPlus server where the bundled and zipped files are decompressed and unbundled. Attachments are reattached and the messages are routed to their intended recipients.

UUPlus has been tested and works with mini-m, Iridium, ACeS as well as some GSM cellular phones and Codan HF equipment. Check out the UUPlus website for more information.
