The DHCS is an incredibly robust and compact satellite phone based on Iridium’s flagship 9575, also designed by Porticos.
The DHCS complies with the more stringent aspects of MIL-STD-810 immersion, shock, and temperature. Compact and powerful, it can fit in a pocket and can place a phone call from anywhere on the planet.
Project Includes:
When it became necessary to survive a more rigorous suite of abuse-testing, Porticos redesigned the mechanical architecture of the flagship 9575 handset. The result is a satellite phone with unprecedented capabilities. Powerful, compact, tough-as-nails; it’s a slightly heavier “all-terrain” sibling to the commercial-grade 9575.
In addition to inspired electronics packaging, Porticos was diligent in proving, through testing, that all functional specifications were met or exceeded. We stayed involved through tooling-approvals and launch, and remain engaged in sustaining-engineering.
