Forget the Sat Phones. Rent the Sat Radios. Its the same size as the Sat phones, looks like the Sat phones but is set up on your own private network. We rented 5 for the Baja 1000 last year and they have a set up that connects to the race vehicle radio with an A/B switch. We had constant clear communications down the whole peninsula. Unlimited talk time. It was well work it. Cost was a little under $900 for a week. We would never race Baja again with out it.

We also rented 5 Sat PTT units for race and chase at the last B1K from the Satellite Phone Store, amazing for sure, we tried to rent them again for NORRA however they raised their rates by about 300%, two radios with antennas and chargers were over $2000... asked about the increase and they said the sat providers raised the service rates... seems excessive. At any rate the PTT ICOM's are the way to go if you have the budget.

They do a cheaper option, I think they are called Iridium 9575's - they work in the same fashion but are cheaper, the bonus on the "cheaper" alternative is they double as actual sat phones.
