A satellite phone would get low power requirement access in a durable
box, as long as it was modem compatible. Inmarsat email works well from
ships, but call duration is pricey.

Hi all,
just to let you all know, I am grateful for the advice from Grahame, Del and
Terry. I have aimed a bit lower in our ambitions and will look at first
making sure we have reliable power to keep his notebook running and aim at
giving him email capability.
With the programming, we will have to organise his part a bit more
carefully (he will be going to the "shops" every 6 to 8 weeks, he can
synchronise then ).
This has ended up a bit off topic so my apologies.
Thanks again
Regards,
Mehmet

Hi,
I have a friend that will be going to the Solomon Islands for a year (work
on a thesis). He will have some solar panels to give him some power but
not
much else.
What I am hopeful is possible is to set him up so that he can use rf to
connect and merge / update a git repository (he is also a programmer - and
a
linux user) and possibly send emails.
Has anyone got any experience in this area?
Is it workable?
Advice on equipment / gotchas /power requirements / set up would be
greatly
appreciated.
He will be heading off in July and I would like to test something before
he
goes.
Regards,
Mehmet
