RedPort Optimizer for Satellite Phone Data
Optimizer is a satellite WiFi hotspot and firewall. Simply connect Optimizer to your satellite phone or broadband terminal and it will create a WiFi hotspot for your computer, tablet or smartphone. XGate satellite data service works with Optimizer to let you access accelerated email, web browsing, download your favorite weather files, or post to Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Most importantly, you can avoid runaway satellite phone airtime bills thanks to Optimizer’s powerful firewall.
- WiFi signal makes setup and use with compatible computers and tablets easy
- Firewall stops all unwanted data traffic
- Works with XGate for email, web, weather & social media services – with up to 85% savings on satellite airtime
- Track GPS locations from GPS-enabled satellite devices
- Improves performance of virtually all satellite phones and satellite broadband terminals
RedPort Optimizer creates a handy WiFi hotspot out of your satellite phone connection, allowing you to connect multiple devices (computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets) up to a single hub.
Optimizer’s built-in firewall blocks all traffic except that carried through XGate. This means that once the link is established data flows through the pipe at optimum speeds, giving you the best possible transfer rate. Since nothing traverses the router except XGate email and XWeb compressed web data, unwanted traffic is eliminated. This prevents surprise airtime bills caused by unmonitored and unwanted background computer traffic such as operating system and other software updates.
The RedPort Optimizer requires a subscription to either XGate satellite email or Iridium Mail & Web in order to function.
Optimizer runs on 12V and has an external battery which allows it to be used as a stand alone hotspot in remote locations. At only 4 x 3 inches, RedPort Optimizer is small and light enough to take anywhere.

I have heard (and seen) some horror stories with folks trying to do things another way; those that saw the Optimizer and iPad in operations were more than envious; having a hassle-free email connection once it was up and running is absolutely the only way to go.” — David Vogel, GMN Customer
