Tiantong S-band satellite phone, rugged keypad

The ST-T100 is the handset a crew keeps in the wheelhouse drawer for the days the coast drops away. S-band satellite voice and SMS with GPS + BeiDou position reporting, a battery sized for the passage rather than the shift, and a keypad that works with gloves on.

Why this model

What it does on the floor

Ingress protection IP67

Sealed against dust and water on the floor, not just in a lab.

Drop rating 1.2 m

Tested on the corners and edges that actually hit concrete.

Runs your client RTOS

Windows, Android or Linux build — confirmed against your app before dispatch.

Battery 4800 mAh — 11 h talk, 480 h standby on satellite

Field-swappable packs and dock charging keep a shift running.

Deployment

Where it deploys — use, markets, bands, preparation

Voice, SMS and position where there is no tower — S-band national coverage — In deployment the terminal is only half the system — the airtime plan and the antenna install decide whether it works on day one.

HOW IT IS USED

Offshore/mountain voice & SMS: the satellite line is the crew's always-on number — one-key dial to shore, no dead zones within the footprint.
Field data backhaul: low-rate data channel pushes GPS fixes, sensor readings and short reports from beyond cellular reach.
Handheld carry: unit + spare battery in the field kit; external antenna kit for vehicle cabins.
Fleet management: each line's usage and location visible on the operator's portal — accounts per vessel/crew.

MARKETS & WHY

China (all provinces)

Tiantong-1 01/02/03 satellites give full national coverage incl. South China Sea.

Southeast Asia

Coverage reaches Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

South Asia

Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka within the S-band footprint.

Middle East / Indian Ocean

Western footprint covers Iran, Saudi, and sea lanes to Africa; check the latest coverage chart for the edge zones.

RADIO & BANDS

Service link (up)1980–2010 MHz S-band

Service link (down)2170–2200 MHz S-band

SIMTiantong SIM (China Telecom operated) — subscription per line, voice + SMS + low-rate data

BeiDouB1/B2/B3 positioning + RDSS short message (regional service, Asia-Pacific)

WATCH-OUTS

Tiantong is a regional system: coverage stops east of Japan / beyond the Maldives — confirm the footprint chart against your actual operating area.
Terminal must be outdoors with sky view; inside vehicles use the external antenna option.
Tiantong SIM activation and subscription is separate from any cellular plan — lead time for bulk SIMs should be planned into the project.

WHAT TO PREPARE

SIM (cellular and/or satellite) per unit; we can ship with a roaming card for the pilot.
Talk-group / dispatch account set up before shipment so units work out of the box.
Charging cradles or vehicle docks per shift pattern.
For fixed installs: mounting point, power and antenna cable route confirmed on site.

Bands listed are the default SKUs for each market — final frequency/certification confirmation against the local operator is part of the quotation.

Questions about the ST-T100

Before you order

Stock, configuration, software compatibility and what happens when a unit fails. The answer comes from the person who configured it.

All questions

01Who is behind this site?

Bastion Rugged is the trading front of Bright Alliance Tech Limited, Shenzhen. We design and build rugged mobile hardware — barcode scanning, UHF RFID, NFC, biometric capture — and we sell it to system integrators and solution providers rather than to consumers. The tooling, PCB and antenna work happen with our own engineering team, not through a trading desk.

02Can you supply five units for a pilot?

Yes. A pilot is the normal entry point. We quote single units at sample pricing and support the pilot with spare parts on the same order — a spare battery and a cradle, not a pallet.

03Do the Android units ship with GMS?

Most Android models ship with GMS. For builds where Google services must be absent, we supply a GMS-free firmware on the same hardware — say so at the quotation stage, because it is a firmware decision, not a setting.

04What warranty do you give?

One year as standard, covering the unit and the battery against manufacturing faults. Extended cover and advance-replacement terms are available for fleets — ask for them with the quotation, not after the first failure.
